Leitourgia denotes service carried out for others, including support for believers and service associated with covenantal worship.

The attested usage most often concerns service directed toward others: supplying believers' needs, accompanying faith, or making up a lack of service. It also occurs in contexts of covenant, tent, vessels, and a completed time of service, where the verse identifies service with those settings without isolating a more specific English equivalent.
