church social
Congregation fellowship event
A church social is a casual gathering organized by a church for fellowship rather than worship—typically involving food, conversation, and light activities.
These events build community among congregants: The ladies' auxiliary hosted a church social after the Sunday service.
The term has an old-fashioned ring, evoking potluck suppers and small-town Protestant life.
