prayer meeting
Congregation gathers together
A prayer meeting is a gathering, usually informal, where people come together to pray.
Common in Protestant Christian traditions, these meetings typically occur in homes or churches outside regular worship services: The Wednesday night prayer meeting drew a small but devoted crowd.
The term sometimes appears in phrases suggesting earnest but perhaps naive faith.
