                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Your blessings, O God, are new every morning; Your favor looks over 
us and gives us peace; Your benediction speaks the words of forgiveness 
and new life and Your everlasting arms give support and strength. 
Through illness and health, through hope and tears, through joy and 
sorrow, and in all the moments of each day, we are grateful, O God, for 
Your gifts of faith and hope and love. This is our earnest prayer. 
Amen.
