An example of (spontaneous) community worship from Nehemiah 8:5-6
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, "Amen, Amen," lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
God in His greatness was proclaimed (Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God) -- the proclamation was confirmed and acknowledged (the people answered "Amen, Amen") -- All the people responded by speaking (Amen, Amen), honoring (lifting hands) and humbling themselves (bowed their heads, faces to the ground) in worship.
