Greeting:
One: For God so loved the world;
All: The sparrows, the mountain lions, the fish and the people.
One: For God so loved the world;
All: In success and failure, in sickness and health.
One: For God so loved the world;
All: Enough to become one of us, enough to suffer along with us, enough to offer
new life for us.
One: For God so loved the world;
All: Let us worship God!
Apostles’ Creed, No. 882
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus
Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he
descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is
seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and
the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Opening Prayer:
Eternal God, holy and faithful, you, do not limit us to the stories by which the world
knows us. Or by the stories that we tell ourselves. Give us courage to defy all
expectations, especially our own, and in your love, help us become all of who we are.
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer of Confession:
Holy One, we confess that we fall short. We have strayed from the path. We have
sinned by giving fear too much time in our lives. We have failed by digging in rather
than going with the flow. We have come up short by holding on too tight when what
we need to do is let go. Forgive and restore us, O God. For if we lean into you, then
you dwell with us, no matter how sure or unsure we are. You are with us when we
are uncertain about whether or not we are worthy of love. You are with us always,
forgiving and restoring us to wholeheartedness. Thanks be to God! Amen!

For God so loved the world, he gave his priceless pearl. For God so loved the world, he gave his
only Son. Love came that none should die. Christ came a sacrifice that who so ever believeth in
him, would have eternal life. For God so love the world, he gave his only Son. For God so loved

through him might live. For God so loved the world.

SCRIPTURES
Numbers 21:4-9 Good News Translation (GNT)
4 The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road that leads to the Gulf of Aqaba, in order to go
around the territory of Edom. But on the way the people lost their patience 5 and spoke against
God and Moses. They complained, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this desert,
where there is no food or water? We can't stand any more of this miserable food!” 6 Then
the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and many Israelites were bitten and
died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and
against you. Now pray to the LORD to take these snakes away.” So Moses prayed for the
people. 8 Then the LORD told Moses to make a metal snake and put it on a pole, so that anyone
who was bitten could look at it and be healed. 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a
pole. Anyone who had been bitten would look at the bronze snake and be healed.
One: This is the Word of the Lord.
Many: Thanks be to God.
Ephesians 2:1-10 New Living Translation (NLT)
2 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in
sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the
unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us
used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By
our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead
because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s
grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated
us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can
point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness
toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift

from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast
about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do
the good things he planned for us long ago.
One: This is the Word of the Lord.
Many: Thanks be to God.
John 3:14-21 New International Version (NIV)
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted
up. 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn
the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but
whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the
name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people
loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates
the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But
whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they
have done has been done in the sight of God.
One: The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Many: Thanks be to God.

[Cont’d on next page]
This year, St. Patrick’s Day will be observed on Wednesday, March 17.
Although the holiday originally started as a Christian feast day celebrating the life of St.
Patrick and the spreading of Christianity to Ireland, today, it is a day of revelry and a
celebration of all things Irish. Don’t forget to wear green!
St. Patrick’s Day is officially observed on March 17 each year, though celebrations may not be
limited to this date. The significance of March 17 is that it’s said to be the date of St. Patrick’s
death in the late 5th century (circa A.D. 493).
*In the years when St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Sunday or during Holy Week, the Almanac keeps
it there and treats it as a secular holiday only. Churches may transfer this to another date,
however, for the feast day. Or, cities may change their official celebration date.
Who was St. Patrick’s? Was he a real person?
Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He is
credited with successfully spreading Christianity throughout
Ireland—hence the Christian celebration of his life and name.
Was There Really a St. Patrick?
Definitely. However, there are many legends about him that mix with
the truth. Did he play a large role in spreading Christianity to
Ireland? Yes, absolutely. Did he really drive all the snakes out of
Ireland? Probably not, since snakes weren’t native to Ireland to
begin with!
A Young St. Patrick Finds God
The man who would eventually become St. Patrick was born in Britain (part of the Roman
Empire at the time) as Maewyn Succat in the late 4th century. His family was Christian, but
it’s said that Maewyn himself was an atheist throughout his childhood.
That would change at age 16 (around A.D. 400), when Maewyn was kidnapped from his home
on the west coast of Britain by Irish pirates, who proceeded to carry him off to Ireland and force
him to work as a shepherd herding sheep. After six years, he escaped his captors, walking
nearly 200 miles through the Irish landscape and convincing a ship to carry him with them
back to Britain. This harrowing experience certainly had an effect on Maewyn, who was
convinced it was the Lord who protected him and delivered him safely home.
13
[Cont’d from previous page]
St. Patrick Spreads the Gospel
Upon returning home, Maewyn received his call (in a dream) to preach the
Gospel—in Ireland, of all places! He spent the next 15 or so years in a
monastery in Britain, preparing for his missionary work. When he became a
priest, his name was changed to Patricius, and he returned to the land of his
captors to begin his teachings.
Although some Christians already lived in Ireland at the time, the country was
largely pagan, so spreading a foreign religion was not an easy task. Patricius
traveled from village to village to share the teachings of the Lord, and was
successful enough to eventually found many churches there.
Why is the shamrock associated with St. Patrick’s Day?
We wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because, legend says, St. Patrick used its three leaves
to explain the Holy Trinity in his teachings. (The Trinity is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit
as three divine persons who are one divine being [God].) The truth of the St. Patrick legend,
however, is in question, as there is no direct record that the saint actually used the shamrock as
a teaching tool.
Note: The symbol of St. Patrick is a three-leaf shamrock, not a four-leaf clover. However, long
before the shamrock became associated with St. Patrick’s Day, the four-leaf clover was regarded
by ancient Celts as a charm against evil spirits. In the early 1900s, O. H. Benson, an Iowa
school superintendent, came up with the idea of using a clover as the emblem for a newly
founded agricultural club for children in his area. In 1911, the four-leaf clover was chosen as the
emblem for the national club program, later named 4-H.
St. Patrick’s Day Facts
Blue was the color originally associated with St. Patrick, but green is now favored.
The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the American colonies was held in New York City on
this day in 1762.
St. Patrick’s Day is the traditional day for planting peas, even in the snow!
Cabbage seeds are often planted today, and old-time farmers believed that to make them
grow well, you needed to plant them while wearing your nightclothes! . No PJs required!
May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door

all the welcome centers and on the church website. Click the button below if you would like the
electronic version. This devotional dovetails with our worship series, "Gifts of the Dark
Wood." While the daily devotional is mostly for individual growth, there is also a small group

A SBURY NEWS
GIVING FOR LENT: Giving alms (money or goods offered freely to the poor) is one of the pillars
of Lent and an ancient practice in the Church. Jesus proclaimed in the Gospel of Matthew
25:31-46 that giving to the hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, imprisoned is giving to him and is the
key to entering his kingdom. (Excerpt taken from Kristen Wall-Love’s devotional). There are
Lenten envelopes in the pews and chairs for you to give over and above your regular giving
during the season of Lent to help provide for our ministries. God loves a cheerful giver.
(2 Corinthians 9:7)
HYDE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION AVAILABLE ON-LINE: The Hyde Scholarship is presented
each year to one or sometimes two graduating seniors who meet specific criteria. Applicants

with good academic standing, and have been accepted to a 2 or 4-year college. They must also
meet Sunday School attendance requirements, and be active in other church-related activities.
The application is available on the church website and is due by Tuesday, April 1, 2021. The
scholarship(s) will be presented at a later date.
OPPORTUNITY SHOP SPRING HOURS: Doing some spring cleaning? The Opp Shop would love to
have your stuff! The shop is now accepting all seasonal decor, spring clothing in all sizes and

Thank you for supporting this important ministry!
SALISBURY URBAN MINISTRY NEEDS: Lazarus Food Pantry: Ramen Noodles, Side Dishes
(potatoes, rice, noodles), cereal bars. Kids Café: Flash Cards (Math), Workbooks Grade 1-5, Snacks.
Men’s Welcome Center: Men’s Boxers (sizes large to XX-Large). SUM is seeking an Assistant
Coordinator for our Kid’s Café program. If interested, please see full job description placed at the
welcome centers.
ASP FUNDRAISER: We've all missed those sweet, delicious pancakes, and ASP has missed
having a regular opportunity to fundraise. It takes a lot of moving parts to get our teams to
Appalachia, and many hands make light work! Our ASP leadership has come up with an easy
way for you to add your hand to the mix. This beautiful rainbow of envelopes has dollar
amounts written on them stretching from $1-$100. One mission trip typically requires about
$18,000. If all 100 envelopes are filled with the amounts pledged, that would come out to
$5,050, which would go a long way towards making homes warmer, safer and drier!
You can pick an envelope on Sunday mornings during worship, or if you are worshipping from
home, you can send in your donation to the church office and the ASP team will match it up
with an envelope for you! Please be sure to mark donations as "ASP Envelope Fundraiser".
Thank you for supporting this important ministry!
