                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Remind each person, O gracious God, of the blessedness of giving 
rather than receiving, of the exhilaration of service to others and the 
fulfillment that comes with contributions to noble causes, of the joy 
that comes when there is hope for the day and peace at the end. As 
there is no other gift that so truly makes us human, we acknowledge 
you, O God, with the gifts of thankfulness and gratitude. Amen.
