Helpful Tips and Benefits of Prefilled Communion

by Pathlie Lee Business consultant

Have you been to a church service and seen Christians eat a small piece of bread from the palm of their hands? This is usually followed with a sip of wine from prefilled communion cups. Maybe you have wondered what these are and why Christians partake of them.

It is not unusual to find people celebrating Holy Communion during a Sunday service. The same is likely to take place during a hospital visit, church conference, or retreat. It is a popular Christian practice worldwide.

This is a time Christians reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus. To celebrate, there has to be two key elements:

If you don’t have bread, you can use wafers and grape juice in the place of wine. The bread or wafer is a symbol of the body of Christ, while the wine symbolizes the blood of Christ. The Holy Communion is also referred to as the Lord’s Table, Last supper, or Eucharist.

Preparing for the Last supper can be a handful task. This is especially for churches that have large numbers of congregants. You will need volunteers to assist in setting up the bread and wine before church service begins. It can be tedious and time-consuming. Also, if you prepare more elements than required, these are likely to go to waste.

Thankfully, there is an easy way around preparing for the Eucharist. You can buy prefilled communion cups.

What are prefilled communion cups? 

These are pre-packed Holy Communion elements that are ready to serve. They simplify the process of preparing for the Lord’s Table, saving you time and energy. Because the communion cups are well-sealed, they are portable and don’t go bad as easily as fresh bread does. This is useful during hospital and home visits and large church gatherings.

A set of a prefilled communion cups contains a wafer and communion juice. Usually, the juice is natural grape juice without any added artificial sweeteners. This makes it suitable for people of all ages.

You can arrange the prefilled communion cups into two Holy Communion trays. One tray holds the cups and the other the bread. The cups are designed to fit into the tray easily. Serving becomes easy. You only need to pass the trays around so that people can pick without taking too much time.

Once people have picked the communion cups, they are easy to open. You first unseal the outer covering where the wafer is. Once done, you unseal the next layer to access the communion juice.

Don’t worry if you have prepared excess prefilled communion cups. They won’t go to waste. You can store for future use because they are manufactured to remain fresh for over ten months. No refrigeration is needed when storing them.

Once communion is done, allocate a container where people can place the used cups. The cups are recyclable. You only need to clean and use them in the future.
