relief
Service, the act of serving or attending to others, often in a practical or administrative sense; includes the provision of support, aid, or assistance within a community. The term may refer to specific duties carried out on behalf of others, such as caring for physical needs, organizing charitable distribution, or fulfilling an entrusted role within a group or assembly. In some contexts, it designates particular functions or offices, such as those of the so-called 'deacons', but more generally embraces any ministry or activity on behalf of others.
