The Antoinism worship takes place in temples. A dressed member welcomes anyone who enters the temple by calling them "brother" and "sister", even if they are just visitors. The service is very unceremonial and informal, as there is no liturgy, singing, or pre-set prayers,<ref>{{cite journal |title=La force de l'âme, rencontre avec les antoinistes caudrésiens |journal=L'Observateur du Cambrésis |date=31 May 2000 |page=3 |language=fr}}</ref> and lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.<ref name="Giltay8"/> Attendance at worship is not required and many people come sporadically. According to sociologist [[Régis Dericquebourg]], "the Antoinist worship is a ritual of intercession. (...) It is a time of big emotional intensity with an intimate aspect".<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 96.</ref>

The service is composed of two practices:
* "The General Operation" ("L'Opération Générale") : Established by Antoine in 1910,<ref name="Deric2002"/> it begins and ends with three strokes of bell. It is briefly announced by a dressed member. After meditating in a room on the back of the temple, a ''desservant'' climb to the highest platform, and the dressed follower goes to the other platform. Both are standing and pray for a few minutes to transmit the fluid to the churchgoers. Then, if the reading of the sacred texts is scheduled just after, as it is the case in France, the ''desservant'' whispers to the dressed follower to perform the reading.<ref name="D94">[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], pp. 94,95.</ref> Originally Antoine practiced this form of worship only on holidays (except Sundays) and on the 1st and 15th days of each month,<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 162</ref> before extending it to the first four days of the week.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 163.</ref> It was in 1932 that the General Operation was performed in all Antoinist temples, and no longer only in the one of Jemeppe;<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 218.</ref> furthermore, on 3 December 1933, Catherine decided that the ritual would be also perform every Sunday.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 216.</ref>
* "The Reading" ("La Lecture"): It lasts twenty minutes and consists of the reading of Antoine's book ''L'Enseignement'' by the dressed follower. The reading ends when he thanks the audience.<ref name="D94"/>

There are few differences in schedules between the services in Belgium and that of France (see the table).
