What Makes Our Communion
Trays So Different?

Celebrating the Lord's Supper should be the highlight of any worship service.  Inspired Clay communion trays can help bring a fresh perspective to the Lord's Supper by encouraging your members to serve each other as they remember the cross.   

"We have used these trays exclusively for many years and chose to go with them again when we opened our second campus in 2007.  They  encourage a sense of true communion and serving one another."

Testimonials

"We used to allow 7-8 minutes for communion in the services each week. When we changed to IC trays we cut our serving time in half. Now we can serve communion in 4 minutes."

Does This Sound Familiar?

If you’ve ever been in charge of getting the bread and juice ready for communion each week, you know what a daunting task it can be. Depending on the size of your church, getting all those little cups positioned, filled and ready to go each week can be unpleasant, time intensive and tedious. First you have to recruit the team. Then you have to train them how to set cups in the slotted trays and then fill each cup with just the right amount of juice… one at a time. Of course there’s also the guessing game of how many cups to prep and fill…will the attendance be heavy or light that day?

After consulting the stars and the ushers from last week, you decide on a number that allows you some wiggle room in case the Smith family reunion was somehow overlooked. You think you’re all done until you open the fridge only to discover that leftovers from the last ministry event have taken up every square inch of shelf space. So now you have to remove the obstacles without sparking a reaction that could split the church. You pick up the phone and gracefully explain to the ministry leader, once again, that you need refrigerator space this week for the communion trays. You then explain, yet again, how juice is likely to turn a little sour before it’s time if it isn’t refrigerated.

Then there’s the waste…you can’t save the unused, filled cups for next week. Then there’s the little matter of collecting and disposing of used and unused cups after the services. The time and money wasted each week is amazing. And even if you have a large congregation and have $3,000 to spend on a bulk-dispenser for the juice… the storage, training, manpower and money lost each week is extremely high.
There is a better way...
