church socials
Parish fellowship events
Church socials are informal gatherings organized by a religious congregation for fellowship and community building.
These events—potlucks, picnics, ice cream socials, holiday dinners—provide opportunities for members to socialize outside of worship services.
The term evokes a traditional, somewhat old-fashioned style of community life: The church social was where everybody caught up on local news.
