                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Our prayers reach out this day for all those whose lives know the 
anguish of separation from those they love or who experience the 
emptiness that comes when the meaning and purpose of life is dimmed. O 
gracious God, as You have given us Your word of assurance and comfort 
that we ever belong to You and Your grace is sufficient for every need, 
so minister to all Your people with Your words of promise and peace and 
hope. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
