Why do members of the Church of Christ observe the Lords Supper each Sunday?
Biblical examples indicate that the first day of the week was the day the early Christians met to observe the Lord’s supper. It was a time of communion. There is no biblical command to observe the Lord’s supper daily, monthly, yearly, etc. The only time reference provided to us is the “first day of the week.” (Acts 20:7) As Luke does not state that Christians must observe the Lord’s supper every week, he also doesn’t provide Christians the authority to choose which Sundays they prefer. In keeping with the unity of the spirit in Christ’s body, Christians within the Lord’s church generally recognize each Sunday as the day to observe the Lord’s supper. Imagine visiting a number of congregations during a family vacation and not being allowed to congregationally observe the Lord’s supper during that time because you kept missing each congregation’s special, and different, day.
