                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, from whom comes the gift of life and the blessings of 
faith and to whom we return at life's end, we remember with 
gratefulness all those who have gone before and whose lives make our 
lives more complete. May our hearts be filled with the awareness that 
we do not have here an abiding city and we are but stewards of Your 
many graces that are given each day. May we so live our lives in 
appreciation of the gifts that are new each morning that through our 
words and deeds, we will be the people You would have us be and do 
those good things that honor You, O God, and serve people with 
faithfulness and honor. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
