Baer – [email protected] – 722-6347 Sixth Sunday after Pentecost - Independence Day - July 4, 2021 PRELUDE WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS *HYMN, “Before You, Lord, We Bow” LBW Hymn 401 1. Before you, Lord, we bow, Our God who reigns above And rules the world below, Boundless in pow'r and love. Our thanks we bring in joy and praise, Our hearts we raise to you, our king! 2. The nation you have blest May well your love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by your care. For this bright day, for this fair land - Gifts of your hand - our thanks we pay. 3. May ev'ry mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in your Word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May ev'ry tongue be tuned to praise And join to raise a grateful song. 4. Earth, hear your Maker's voice; Your great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone. Cast down your pride, your sin deplore, And bow before the Crucified. 5. And when in pow'r he comes, Oh, may our native land From all its rending tombs Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng, with joy to sing To heav'n's high king salvation's song! Francis Scott Key (1779-1843), author of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” wrote this text for the Independence Day celebration of July 4, 1832. *GREETING L: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C: And also with you. *A LITANY FOR THE NATION L: Mighty God: the earth is yours and nations are your people. Take away our pride and bring to mind your goodness, so that, living together in this land, we may enjoy your gifts and be thankful. C Amen. L: For clouded mountains, fields and woodlands, for shoreline and running streams; for all that makes our nation good and lovely; C: We thank you, God. L: For farms and villages where food is gathered to feed our people; C: We thank you, God. L: For cities where people talk and work together in factories, shops, or schools to shape those things we need for living; C :We thank you, God. L: For explorers, planners, statesmen; for prophets who speak out, and for silent faithful people; for all who love our land and guard our freedom; C :We thank you, God. L: For vision to see your purpose hidden in our nation’s history, and courage to seek it in brotherly love exchanged; C: We thank you, God. L: Great God, we thank you for this land so fair and free; for its worthy aims and charities. We are grateful for people who have come to our shores, with customs and accents to enrich our lives. You have led us in the past, forgiven evil, and will lead us in the time to come. Give us a voice to praise your goodness in this land and a will to serve you, now and always; through Jesus Christ our Lord. C: Amen. Litany for the Nation and Prayer of Thanksgiving for a Day of Civic or National Significance are reprinted from The Worshipbook: Services and Hymns © 1972 The Westminster Press. *HYMN, “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” LBW Hymn 566 1. My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From ev'ry mountainside Let freedom ring. 2. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. 3. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. 4. Our fathers' God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light. Protect us by thy might, Great God, our king. Samuel Francis Smith (1808-1895), a Baptist minister, wrote this hymn after seeing the hymn, “God Bless Our Native Land” (LBW 569) in a German hymnal which he was given. He reports: “I instantly felt the impulse to write a patriotic hymn of my own adapted to the tune. Picking up a scrap of waste paper which lay near me, I wrote at once, probably within half an hour, the hymn ‘America’ as it is now known everywhere.” This song was first sung at an Independence Day celebration July 4, 1831. *PRAYER OF THE DAY L: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. L: Let us pray together . C: Lord of the nations, guide our people by your Spirit to go forward in justice and freedom. Give us what outward prosperity may be your will, but above all things give us faith in you, that our nation may bring glory to your name and blessings to all peoples; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. TWO LUTHERAN PASTORS AND AMERICAN HISTORY John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg (1746-1807) and Frederick Augustus Conrad Muhlenberg (1750-1801) are two Lutheran pastors who play significant roles in American political history. They are the sons of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (1711- 1787), considered the father of Lutheranism in America. *HYMN, “God of Our Fathers” LBW Hymn 567 1. God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Leads forth in beauty all the starry band Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies: Our grateful songs before your throne arise. 2. Your love divine has led us in the past; In this free land by you our lot is cast; Oh, be our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay; Your Word our law, your paths our chosen way. 3. From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, Make your strong arm our ever sure defense. Your true religion in our hearts increase; Your bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. 4. Refresh your people on their toilsome way; Lead us from night to never-ending day; Fill all our lives with heav'n-born love and grace Until at last we meet before your face. Daniel Crane Roberts (1841-1907), an Episcopal priest, wrote this text for the United States’ Centennial celebration of July 4, 1876. It is known as the National Hymn. FIRST READING, Jeremiah 29:4-14 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the LORD. This is what the LORD says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” L: The Word of the Lord. (NIV) C: Thanks be to God. PSALM 20 L: May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. C: May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. L: May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. C: May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. L: May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. C: May the LORD grant all your requests. L: Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. C: He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. L: Some trust in chariots and some in horses, C: But we trust in the name of the LORD our God. L: They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. C: LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call! SECOND READING, Romans 13:1-10 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

  • Virtual and Physical Environments in the Work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson
    Virtual and Physical Environments in the work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ART in the Art History Program of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning April 2012 by Ashton Tucker B.A., Bowling Green State University College of Arts and Sciences Committee Chair: Morgan Thomas, Ph.D. Reader: Kimberly Paice, Ph.D. Reader: Jessica Flores, M.A. ABSTRACT The common concerns of artists Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962), Doug Aitken (b. 1968), and Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) are symptomatic of key questions in contemporary art and culture. In this study, I examine key works by each artist, emphasizing their common interest in the interplay of virtual space and physical space and, more generally, their use of screen aesthetics. Their focus on the creative interplay of virtuality and physicality is indicative of their understanding of the fragility and uncertainty of physical perception in a world dominated by screen-based communication. In chapter one, I explore Pipilotti Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) and argue that the artist creates work where screen based projection and installation are interrelated elements due to her interest in creating spaces that engage the viewer both physically and virtually. In chapter two, I discuss Doug Aitken’s work and argue that he democratizes the viewing experience in a more radical way than Pipilotti Rist. In the final chapter, I discuss the work of Olafur Eliasson as it relates to California Light and Space art and the phenomenological aspects of the eighteenth-century phantasmagoria.

  • Peace Trail on the National Mall
    PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Making Peace Possible Learn more about the United States Institute of Peace at www.usip.org PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Introduction The northwest corner of the National Mall could be considered the “War and Peace Corner” of our nation’s capital. It is home to this country’s most famous veterans memorials, which draw tens of millions of visitors each year. It is also home to the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), and to other symbols and sites with peace themes, which, while generally less prominent, offer an important and complementary narrative. The following Peace Trail on the National Mall is the result of a collaboration between USIP and colleagues at the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington, D.C. and at the National Park Service. Anchored at USIP and tracing a path to a dozen other key sites in the vicinity, it brings a “peace lens” to the experience of visiting the National Mall. It may be used as a self-guided walking tour or a reference guide, elevating stories of key figures, institutions, and moments in history that demonstrate America’s enduring commitment to peace. 1 M HA EDWARD R MURROW H ST NW 66 Decatur House Von Steuben PARK LAFAYETTE Kosciuszko NEW US Court of George New Executive PARK Appeals and Washington H ST NW Office Bldg Baruch Bench Jackson US Court University of Claims Renwick Gallery 24TH ST NW Rochambeau Treasury Annex Lafayette Juarez Blair-Lee House Closed roads G ST NW Eisenhower 14TH ST NW Executive Department Office of the F ST NW

The artist’s focus was on remedying the sordid history of Idyllic Isle, a city that was not always so peaceful. Long ago, the city was overrun with racism, hateful propaganda advancing minority oppression, government corruption, and disregard for its coastal environment. Over the years, the city improved, but still had not reached its potential. The artist decided that he wanted to erect a sculpture on the publicly-owned land overlooking the city’s coastal waters. The government agreed that he could place the statue on the land as he wished, since there were no other plans for the land and the government wanted to rehabilitate it into a park space for its citizens.

ARRIVAL AT VALLEY FORGE On October 29, 1777, orders were issued to the Continental 1 Army to be ready at a moment's notice to march to winter quarters. Despite continual repetition of these orders, the troops did not leave that day or the next day. Not until November 11 did the Army begin to move north and west out· of the immediate Philadelphia area. It crossed the Schuylkill River at Swedesford, spent the night on the Gulph Hills, and finally arrived at its. destination~ Valley Forge, on December 12. The choice of Valley Forge for winter quarters had not been an unanimous decision of the officers; rather, it was a compromise. General George Washington wished to go to Wilmington~ Delaware in order that the Army could conduct guerrilla warfare against the BritishJwho were entrenched in Philadelphia. However, Brigadier-general Peter Muhlenberg suggested Reading, Pennsylvania to Washington in a letter of December 1.2 While Muhlenberg agreed tha tit would be beneficial to "annoy" the enemy, 3 he thought that other disadvantages outweighed this small gain.

The National Museum of American History, with more than three million artifacts and documents, is our nation’s largest institution devoted to American history. Almost five million people come here annually, and many millions more visit us online. How do we best share an understanding of what makes America … America? “America” is far more than a geographic location. It is also an idea and an experiment that has reverberated through the centuries—grounded in freedom, possibility, and opportunity, tempered by conflict, and strengthened by dissent and difference. Much of the enduring power of “America” lies in the continuous testing of its ideals. At the National Museum of American History, we draw our inspiration from this majestic idea. Over the next decade, we will use our unparalleled collections to tell an inclusive, respectful, and compassionate story of all the peoples in America who were here, who came here, and who were brought here. We will tell an overarching American story—interweaving multiple stories of perseverance, triumph, and optimism with those of struggle.

  • A Monument for Peace
    A Monument for Peace A Monument for Peace by W.M. Akers In December, 1864, the Civil War was nearly over. The armies of the Union had conquered most of the South, but the fighting was not finished. Hoping to reverse the war's course, the Confederate general John Bell Hood marched his army toward Nashville. The capital of Tennessee, Nashville, had been under Union control since 1862. Capturing it, Hood hoped, could save the Confederacy. th It was freezing cold when the battle started on December 15 . The Confederate troops were outnumbered. They fought in ragged uniforms,th sometimes without shoes. Against the superior Union army, they had no hope. On December 16 , Hood was defeated. The war was over. The Union won the Civil War four months later. Although the Southern states returned to the Union, the country remained divided. Fifty years later, most of the war's veterans were dead. Around the country, towns and cities had begun building monuments in their memory. In the North, monuments were built to honor the Union. In the South, monuments honored the Confederacy. Even though the states were united again, no one built a monument to both sides. In 1914, Mrs. James E. Caldwell and her group, the Ladies Battlefield Association, began raising ReadWorks.org · © 2013 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

  • IMAGES of SLAVERY, IMAGES of OURSELVES: the Public History of Slavery and Regional Identities
    IMAGES OF SLAVERY, IMAGES OF OURSELVES: The Public History of Slavery and Regional Identities A SENIOR THESIS by Siena Faughnan Bryan Rommel-Ruiz and Carol Neel, Advisors Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Bachelor of Arts The Colorado College Colorado Springs, Colorado April/ 2016 Faughnan 1 Slavery is one of the most enduring and significant stains on the historical conscience of the United States. It has been extensively studied in academia, however representations of slavery are conspicuously absent from museums, memorials, and other public sites. This paper will explore the absences and incompleteness of slavery in America’s public history by analyzing the historical development of sites representing slavery. Through historic plantation museums, Civil War memorials, and Lincoln statues, a larger narrative is revealed which is deeply uncomfortable with the implications of slavery on regional identities. Debates around the proper display and characterization of slavery are actually indicative of larger questions of Northern and Southern identity and these regions’ need for a historical record which cleanly aligns with their own self-image. For this reason, engaging with the history of slavery, especially in a public and highly visible manner such as exhibition or monument-building, remains a highly controversial undertaking. Neither the South nor the North has been able to directly confront and reconcile slavery with a celebratory narrative of their pasts. Historian Michael Kammen said, “Historians become notably controversial when they do not perpetuate myths, when they do not transmit the received and conventional wisdom, when they challenge the comforting presence of a stabilized past.”1 Depicting slavery fully and truthfully disrupts a stabilized regional, but it is necessary and vital work to confront the racial exclusion of the past and present.
