thanksgiving service
Church gratitude ceremony
A thanksgiving service is a religious ceremony held to express gratitude, typically for a specific blessing or deliverance—recovery from illness, survival of a disaster, the end of a war, or a successful harvest.
Unlike regular worship, the service centers on collective thankfulness for something particular: The church held a thanksgiving service after the miners were rescued.
