                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Psalm 100:
  Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands. Serve the Lord with 
gladness. Come into His presence with singing.
  Know that the Lord is God. It is He that made us, and we are His 
people, and the sheep of His pasture.
  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give 
thanks to Him, bless His name.
  For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and his 
faithfulness to all generations. Amen.
