That would be great, but most SBC churches would not hear of this. Most if not every view the Lord's Supper as a ordinance only and not a sacrament. Most would argue that the less we do it the better, so we do not take it for granted. I think it would be a great way to handle this issue myself, but this is something I probably would not be able to implement in my church.
