In the last church we pastored, communion was served once a month.
Other churches we pastored it varied but definitely more than once a year. I think that in a couple churches we tried for every 3 months.
I have to say that I thought once a month would create a situation where communion would become a "hohum" event, but it wasn't like that at all. Every communion service was special and relevant and meaningful.
I think there are a lot less oatmeal boxes going on top of a womans head.
I also think there is a lot less judgmentalism going on, though there is still too much... I think there is a lot less presonal preferences being preached, though there is still too much...

Back in the 70s my pastor had better never hear of you sinning,now the pastor at the local church preaches we all sin a little every day.

While I would'nt say we "sin a little every day" I do think it's important to realize our best rightousness is far, far short of qualifying us for the kingdom.
Also, I believe none other than Christ can truely say he is "sin free".
