A Keryx weekend begins on Thursday evening. The prisoners attending the weekend are welcomed with song and fellowship, and listen to two short talks by the layman who leads the weekend, and two short meditations from clergy.
Friday and Saturday consist of all day sessions, with five talks presented each day. Music, meditations and fellowship round out the day.
On Sunday, there are four talks, music, and a closing service. The weekend concludes mid-Sunday afternoon.
Attendance at a Keryx weekend is totally optional on the part of the prisoner. Prisoners of all religions are free to attend, and each prisoner can decide to terminate attendance at any time during the weekend.
