I’m posting this several months after the fact, but backdating it to the actual event. In summary, PBUUC held a Lammas/Lughnassad service/ritual on Sunday, August 1, 2004. This post is to record some of the items from the printed order of service that I want to keep without hanging on to the paper copy. :)
