Communion Trays

About this Communion Tray:

Several years ago, our designer and owner Stephen Procter was given an old style gold communion tray by Hillsong Church and asked to design something more modern. This was the result!

With it’s anodised aluminium plate, impact resistant acrylic base and peanut shape, it was a radical departure from the traditional gold, silver and wooden communion trays. Originally made in limited batches, they have since been revamped for mass production. We think you'll love our modern communion ware. 
 

More about this Communion Tray:

The kind of cups, which fit the tray, are the ones sold by most church supply stores (normally $20-$30 per 1000.)

For example, the plastic cups are available on Amazon. Click here for the link.  Or at Concordia Supplies. Click here for link. 

These are approximately 2-3cm in diameter and 3cm high. Glasses of this size can also be used. The centre of the tray is where you can place bread/wafers/crackers which have been broken or cut up into small pieces. Table water crackers or saltine crackers work the best. 

The trays are stackable. We recommend stacking them up to 6 high although we have seen fully laden trays stacked 20 high and carried with ease! A pip on each foot of the tray fits in to the tray below helping to keep them safely in place. Each tray is 22.5cm long x 42cm wide x 4cm high. We recommend rinsing the trays by hand, as opposed to putting them in a dishwasher. This will preserve the plastic. 

We are often asked how to work out how many trays a congregation might need. We tend to look at how many rows the church has and how many people per row. For example, 2 rows of 16 people would require one communion tray. Or 4 rows of 8 people would also need one tray. At Hillsong church in Sydney, the service we attend has 10 people in each row. One usher will carry 2 trays each and hand one tray to every other row. The trays are then passed along a row and then handed to the row behind. This way one tray serves 2 rows.
