Meetings last about one and a half hours and take place regularly either weekly or fortnightly.
Some groups meet less frequently but the norm is every week or every fortnight.
Each meeting has a particular focus or theme which is part of a larger formation programme. Within each meeting then there are basically three parts. Firstly there is period of prayer after which people are invited to share. Then there is a focus on a topic related to the overall theme and again people are invited to participate. The discussion at this stage is not so much a sharing of ideas but of experience.
