Toledo UBF celebrates communion and baptism. Again, though, it is not done weekly or haphazzardly.
The UBF Bonn also celebrates weekly "communion", in their sense.
They call the cup of coffe and 2 pieces of cake where you sit around in small circles to share what you "learned" from the Message to be the "Communion", I always thought it was some casual fellowship but then one day, Chang said in the announcements that this is Communion.
Well, it's being taken very serious: use cake instead of bread, leavened cake longside, mixed with sugar and honey --- and use sweetened, miked coffe instead of wine. No thanksgiving to the Lord, no blessing of the Father, no cry for forgiveness of sins... yes yes indeed UBF is taking Holy Communion much more seriously than any other Christian Church.
Please, if anyone found a bit of cynicism or irony in that previous sentence, it was well intended.
I've NEVER seen any other Christian fellowship so sacrilegiously desacrate Communion like it was done in UBF! NEVER!
