                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are thankful, O God, for all Your blessings so freely given to us 
and to all people. We know that these gifts are as high and as deep and 
as wide as Your mercy and as abundant as Your grace. You have blessed 
us in ways that are more than our deserving and greater than our 
ability to grasp. And so we pray, O gracious God, that as we are 
thankful for what You have done for us in the past, we will continue to 
appreciate Your goodness to us in all the days to come.
  In Your name, we pray. Amen.
