church activities

Congregational fellowship events

Church activities are the organized events and programs that take place under a congregation's auspices—worship services, Bible studies, choir practice, youth groups, potluck dinners, volunteer work.

The phrase often appears in contexts distinguishing religious involvement from secular life: Between work and church activities, she has no free time.

It can carry slightly dutiful or old-fashioned connotations.
