family devotions
Home prayer time
Family devotions are religious practices conducted at home by family members together, typically including prayer, scripture reading, and spiritual discussion.
The term is most common among Protestant Christians: We gather for family devotions every evening before bed.
The practice aims to nurture shared faith and establish religious habits in children.
