Welcome Rev. Connie Bandy
Good morning and welcome to Community United Church of Christ. As a church we gather this morning to consider
what it means to be a person of faith living in these United States. We face many challenges as nation. How might we
respond as people who walk in the way of Jesus? Today’s service, Prayer for America, was curated by UCC pastor Rev.
John Gage and adapted by Pastor Leah. It includes a series of sacred and poetic readings in three movements: Glory,
Shadow, and Hope. Listen, deeply, to the words offered this morning. Thank you to our lay readers and musicians for
making this worship service something that, we hope, will inspire, enlighten, and call us, in the words of Lincoln, to be
our better angels. As we settle into worship, as we begin, we welcome you. And who are we? We are young and old and
middle age. Gay and straight and in between. We are single and partnered. Happy and sad, confused and inspired. We
are street smart and college educated. Some of us can’t pay our bills and others of us have more than enough to share.
Who are we? We are God’s people. We are the Body of Christ. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s
journey, you are welcome here and we really mean it. Welcome to worship.

This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine;
this is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine:
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine.
2WE LISTEN FOR GOD’S WORD
Seeking the Word in Scripture
from the Letters of the Early Church Hebrews 11:8-10, 13-16a Ilsa Kantola
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he
set out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a
foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked
forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. . . .All of these died in faith without
having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were
strangers and foreigners on the earth, for people who speak in this way make it clear that they are seeking a
homeland. If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to
return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
from the Hebrew Prophets Jeremiah 29:4-7 Jon Ebel
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to
Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Take wives and have sons and
daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters;
multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to
the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
“Prayers from America: Glory, Shadow, & Hope”
I. Glory
“A City Upon a Hill” by John Winthrop (1630) Kristy Brownfield
Now the only way to avoid disaster and provide for our future in this land is to follow the counsel of the prophet
Micah: to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
Toward this end, we must be knit together in this work as one body; We must treat each other with familiar
affection; We must be willing to give up our excesses, in order to supply others what they need. We must build an
amiable society together in all meekness, gentleness, patience, and generosity of spirit.
We must delight in each other, feel for others’ conditions as our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and
suffer together, always remembering the vision of our common mission and common life in the work—our common
life as members of the one body. Thus we will manifest the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
The Lord will be our God and delight to dwell among us, as God’s own people, and will command a blessing upon us
in everything we do, so that we will see even more of God’s wisdom, power, goodness, and truth than we have
known before. We will find that the God of Israel is among us, and ten of us will be able to resist a thousand of our
enemies. God will make us a praise and glory, that people will say of future settlements: “May the Lord make it like
New England!”
For we must consider that we will be like a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us…
3My Country by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1830) Jennifer Cromely
America! my own dear land- You hear the sounds of healthful toil,
O, 'tis a lovely land to me; And youth's gay shout and childhood's glee,
I thank my God that I was born And every one in safety dwells,
Where man is free! And all are free.
Our land- it is a glorious land- We're brothers all from South to North,
And wide it spreads from sea to sea- One bond will draw us to agree-
And sister States in Union join We love this country of our birth-
And all are free. We love the free-
And equal laws we all obey- We love the name of Washington,
To kings we never bend the knee- I lisped it on my father's knee-
We may not own no Lord but God And we shall ne'er forget the name
Where all are free. While we are free.
We've lofty hills and sunny vales My Land, my own dear native Land,
And streams that roll to either sea- Thou art a lovely land to me;
And through this large and varied land I bless my God that I was born
Alike we're free. Where man is free!
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus (1883) Brin Schuler
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

God of the ages, who with sure command
brought forth in beauty al the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before your throne arise.
Refresh thy people on life’s toilsome way;
lead us from night to never-ending day;
With truth and love guide us through error’s maze,
and we shall give you glory, laud, and praise.
4II. Shadow
Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes (1938) Chase Skye
Let America be America again. In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
Let it be the dream it used to be. That's made America the land it has become.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
Seeking a home where he himself is free. In search of what I meant to be my home--
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
(America never was America to me.)
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed-- And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
Let it be that great strong land of love To build a "homeland of the free."
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
The free?
That any man be crushed by one above.
Who said the free? Not me?
(It never was America to me.)
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
O, let my land be a land where Liberty The millions shot down when we strike?
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, The millions who have nothing for our pay?
But opportunity is real, and life is free, For all the dreams we've dreamed
Equality is in the air we breathe. And all the songs we've sung
(There's never been equality for me, And all the hopes we've held
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.") And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay--
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? Except the dream that's almost dead today.
And who are you that draws your veil across the
stars? O, let America be America again--
The land that never has been yet--
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, And yet must be--the land where every man is free.
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's,
I am the red man driven from the land, Negro's, ME--
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek-- Who made America,
And finding only the same old stupid plan Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak. Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain Must bring back our mighty dream again.
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land! Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying The steel of freedom does not stain.
need! From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
Of work the men! Of take the pay! We must take back our land again,
Of owning everything for one's own greed! America!
I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil. O, yes,
I am the worker sold to the machine. I say it plain,
I am the Negro, servant to you all. America never was America to me,
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean-- And yet I swear this oath--
Hungry yet today despite the dream. America will be!
Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers! Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
I am the man who never got ahead, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
The poorest worker bartered through the years. We, the people, must redeem
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
In the Old World while still a serf of kings, The mountains and the endless plain--
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true, All, all the stretch of these great green states--
That even yet its mighty daring sings And make America again!
5Indian Boarding School: The Runaways by Louise Erdrich (2003) Jennifer Cromley

The earth is a colored thing. And, in changing, new colors come and go and
See the red clays, and the umbers and salt greasy of dominate and remain,
the mountains; And no one shall say which remain,
See the clustered and wandering greens of plains Since those that have vanished return,
and hillsides, And those no man has seen take the light and are.

snow-greens As in this hall?
Of gardens and forests. White columns polished like glass,
See the reds of flowers—hibiscus, poppy, geranium; A dome and a dome,
The rose-red of little flowers—may-flowers, primroses; A balcony and a balcony,
The harlequin shades of sweet-peas, orchids, pansies; Stairs and the balustrades to them,
The madders, saffrons, chromes, of still waters, Yellow marble and red slabs of it,

What are they? interthronging light.
And what are we?
We, the people without a race, This is America,
Without a language; This vast, confused beauty,
Of all races, and of none; This staring, restless speed of loveliness,
Of all tongues, and one imposed; Mighty, overwhelming, crude, of all forms,
Of all traditions and all pasts, Making grandeur out of profusion,
With no tradition and no past. Afraid of no incongruities,
A patchwork and an altar-piece, Sublime in its audacity,
Vague as sea-mist, Bizarre breaker of moulds,
Myriad as forest-trees, Laughing with strength,
Living into a present, Charging down on the past,
Building a future. Glorious and conquering,
Our color is the vari-colored world. Destroyer, builder,
No colors clash, Invincible pith and marrow of the world,
All clash and change, An old world remaking,
Whirling into the no-world of all-colored light.

A Litany for the United States of America Chase Skye, Brin Schuler, Rev. Connie Bandy
Chase: O God our Sovereign, bless our land, that we may be a people at peace among ourselves, living together justly,
and a blessing to other nations of the earth.
Many: O God, keep this nation under your care.

we have triumphed, so together we may face the present with wisdom and the future with hope.
Many: In your truth and grace, O God.
Chase: Bless also the leaders of our land: To all who have executive authority and to all who have administrative
authority, grant wisdom and grace in the exercise of their duties.
Many: Give grace to your servants, O God.
Brin: To those who make our laws give courage, wisdom, and foresight to provide for the needs of all our

safeguarded and justice served.

Brin: And finally, teach us to accept our responsibilities to all the members of our communities, that those who are
afforded the right may elect trustworthy leaders, that we may all hold those leaders to a high standard and
critique them when they fall short, and so altogether may we make wise decisions for the well-being of our
society; that we may serve you faithfully in our generation and honor your holy name.

glory, forever and ever. Amen.

The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day.
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?
Let them say of me I was one who believed in sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, America, I gave my best to you.
Each generation from the plains to distant shore with the gifts that they were given
were determined to leave more.
valiant battles fought together;
acts of conscience fought alone;
these are the seeds from which America has grown.
Let them say of me I was one who believed in sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, America, I gave my best to you.
For those who think They have nothing to share who fear in their hearts there is no hero there,
know each quiet act of dignity is that which fortifies the soul of a nation that never dies.
Let them say of me I was one who believed in sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through America, America, I gave my best to you.
