family worship
Household spiritual practice
Family worship is religious devotion practiced by a household together, typically including prayer, scripture reading, and hymns.
The practice is especially associated with Protestant traditions that emphasize the home as a spiritual unit: Every evening after supper, we gathered in the parlor for family worship.
The term implies regular, often daily observance rather than occasional prayer.
