public worship
Congregation's shared prayer
Public worship is religious devotion practiced collectively rather than privately—the services, rituals, and ceremonies conducted when a congregation gathers: The church holds public worship every Sunday at ten.
The term distinguishes communal observance from personal prayer or meditation, emphasizing the shared, often formal nature of the practice.
