Those who avail themselves of services rendered (11)
I believe the answer is:
churchgoers
'those who avail themselves' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'services rendered' is the wordplay.
'services' becomes 'church services' (church service is a kind of service).
'rendered' becomes 'goers' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'church'+'goers'='CHURCHGOERS'
'of' is the link.
