How far in advance should I order communion supplies for Easter?
Easter is one of the most attended services of the year and one of the most meaningful opportunities to serve your congregation well. Poor planning can lead to last-minute stress, rushed shipping costs, or worse, running short during the service itself.
Plan 4-6 weeks ahead. This gives you time to calculate attendance (expect 30-50% above your typical Sunday), train volunteers on distribution, test your setup before Easter morning, and avoid rush shipping fees. For churches serving 200+ on Easter, consider ordering an extra case beyond your calculated need.
Here's what we recommend: Set up AutoShip for your weekly communion needs so you're always stocked for regular services. For Easter-specific orders, place them 4-6 weeks in advance to lock in inventory. Need supplies sooner? We offer rush shipping for urgent orders.
