fellowship meal
Communal dining gathering
A fellowship meal is a shared meal among members of a religious community, typically following a worship service.
Common in Christian churches, these meals combine food with social bonding and spiritual community: The congregation gathered in the basement for the fellowship meal after Sunday service.
The emphasis is on connection rather than the food itself.
