Service small state

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mass

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'service' is the first definition.
(kind of church service)

'small state' is the second definition.
(abbreviation for Massachusetts; 'small' suggests an abbreviation)

(Other definitions for mass that I've seen before include "what 13 15A [STANDARD MODEL] supposes 12 [HIGGS BOSON] gives other 5A [PARTICLES]s" , "Matter; large amount" , "Christian ritual" , "Rite; quantity of matter" , "Church ceremony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
