prayer circle

Communal spiritual gathering

A prayer circle is a group of people who gather, often in a physical circle, to pray together for a shared purpose or on behalf of someone in need.

The term also refers to the practice itself or to a network of people who commit to praying, even when not physically together.

Prayer circles are common in Christian communities but appear in other religious traditions as well.

The church organized a prayer circle for the family after the accident.

She asked to be added to the prayer circle list.
