Sunday service
Weekly religious assembly
Sunday service is a weekly Christian worship gathering, typically held on Sunday mornings.
The term covers the full event—hymns, prayers, sermon, and communion where practiced: We attend Sunday service at the Methodist church downtown.
For many churchgoers, it's simply service: Are you coming to service this week?
