evening service

Dusk church gathering

Evening service is a religious worship gathering held in the late afternoon or evening, typically at a church.

Many congregations hold both morning and evening services on Sundays: We usually attend the evening service so we can sleep in.

The term also applies to weekday evening gatherings for prayer or study.
