So, before I break this apart, I want to show you an old order of service from the defunct Church of the Messiah (Universalist) in Philadelphia. (I wrote about Messiah Home, it’s former retirement home here.)
Thanks to friend and Unitarian Universalist minister Hank Peirce for photo of the original text.
