These are offered once per month on an alternating basis, with one month’s meeting on Sunday at 4 pm ET and the alternating month’s meeting on Wednesday at 8 pm ET. Our team meetings include a special speaker each month, are a place to discuss the things you are encountering in the sharing groups, and a great place to visit with your IANDS family.
