 Question:   
"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread."

The early church had a communion every Lord's Day (once a week). The communion was both the Lord's Supper and common regular meals. Why does the modern church not follow the tradition? Why do we just meet and worship and leave, not eating together, on the Lord's Day? By not eating together (we do ceremonial communions a few times a year or not more than once a month, which are not food at all to quench the hunger), our Christian fellowship seems to be weakened: we do not know one another and.
 Answer:   
Extra note, Acts 20:7 is not refering to communion as we know it(Luke 22:17-20; Mat 26:26-29) Now in 1 Cor 11:20-29 as you see Paul refers it[communion] as the Lord's Supper. Upon reading those scriptures it's clear to me that they were treating the "Lord's Supper" as a party. My thought is if "bread(body) and water (blood)is not included in the same sentence it's not communion that's why I don't believe Acts 20:7 is refering to communion. Now on the first day of the week was a ruitual that they had, (that's equalvilant to our fellowship dinners/family)

My second point I would like to address is the "Lord's Day" is found in Rev 1:10 and that's not refering to the first day of the week as well...
