Our family conducts regular weekly meetings at several care facilities in our area. Typically we meet in a facility that houses up to 7 people. An average Sunday meeting last between 30-45 minutes. We usually conduct three meetings on Sundays at three different units. For Wednesday evenings we conduct a 45 min to 1 hour long bible study/fellowship at one unit. The reason we chose Sunday and Wednesday is because for years the elderly have gathered on these days to worship thus its gives a more familiar worship atmosphere. We realize all situations are not the same therefore, do what works for you and the people you serve.
Focusing on one facility/unit will allow you to develop more meaningful relationships. Remember, it is not how many people you can serve but how effective you can be at leading each person to the love of Jesus.

"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." 1 Peter 4:10
