Communion & Altar Supplies
Communion Trays & Portable Sets
Communion trays carry the small cups down the pews at the Lord's Supper, and a matching bread plate carries the wafers or bread. Trays stack so ushers can serve a large congregation from one pile, and a cover with a cross knob sits on top. Products differ in finish, with satin, mirror or brass tone stainless steel. They also differ in cups per tray, in the pieces bundled together, and in whether reusable cups are included.
Count the cups needed per service and divide by about 40 per tray. A church of 80 is served by the two-tray sets from Mayur Exports. A new congregation can start with the VJR tray and add trays later. Match the finish to existing offering plates. Portable sets from Broadman and Miracle Meal carry the elements to hospitals and homes. A cup filler with a side spout or button release speeds tray preparation.

Questions before you order
How many cups does a communion tray hold?
Trays in this list hold between 33 and 40 cups each. The two-tray sets from Mayur Exports are described as serving about 80 cups together. Stackable trays can be built up to about seven high, so a church of 250 would prepare six or seven trays.
Is stainless steel better than aluminum for trays?
Stainless steel resists dents and rust and can be washed in a dishwasher, which the makers here state for their trays. Aluminum trays are lighter but mark more easily. Brass tone and gold finishes are plated stainless steel, so wash them by hand to protect the coating.
What goes in a portable communion set?
The Broadman set holds 25 disposable cups, a 3 ounce juice bottle and a bread box for about 38 pieces. Its case is 7.5 by 4.5 inches. The Miracle Meal hard case carries six glass cups and the elements in foam. Both are sized for a coat pocket or bag.
How should trays be cleaned and stored?
Rinse cups and trays soon after the service so juice does not dry on them. Satin and mirror stainless trays go through a dishwasher. Dry fully before stacking to avoid water spots, and keep the cover on the top tray between services to keep dust off the cups.
