Service and religion
Funny how the same word in Slavic and Germanic can be interpreted differently according to language. Czech náboženství and Slovak náboženstvo mean religion, but Polish nabożeństwo means a religious service, as the Polish word for religion is religia. German Godsdienst, service, looks like Dutch godsdienst, but the latter means religion (religie is also used).
