The baptist church take communion or they call it the "Lord's Supper" in following Jesus' commandment to do it in remembrance of Him. Baptists do not take communion every meeting of the congregation and do not hold any salvation in it but only as a remembrance that without Jesus' shedding of his blood then we miss the nourishment of the spirit and communion with the saints of the Lord. There are some that believe that EVERY time we put anything in our mouths we should remember the Lord and give thanks for His sacrifice, therefore the blessing before each meal.

Not all Baptist take communion on the 1st Sunday. It is up to the individual church.

However, the Lord's Supper (communion) is actually the last passover that Jesus observed. It was a time recalling the day God delivered Israel out of Egypt. The 10th and last plague was that God would kill the first born in every house that did not have the blood of a lamb (male, first of the flock, without blemish, not a bone broken, killed without the camp) on the door posts. That was observed on a Tuesday. Many Baptist observe the Lord's supper on the Tuesday before easter.

The above is not a practice carried out in Australia. It is rare for any mainstream Baptist church to partake of communion on the Tuesday before Easter. I rather suspect that it is unsual for any mainstream Baptist church in the States to also do this.

Really that is dependent on the Assemblies of God Church. More traditional churches in the Assemblies of God still practice communion every Sunday. Most Assemblies of God churches have gone to practicing communion once a month typically either the first Sunday of the month or on Missions Sunday.
