                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and all 
who live therein. Holy God, You founded it on the seas and established 
it on the waters.
  Creator of the Earth and skies, to whom all truth and power belong, 
we ascend our prayers to You. We are humbled to stand in Your presence.
  Redeem us that we would be given clean hands and pure hearts, 
trusting not in idols of our own making, nor swearing to gods who seek 
to deceive.
  Give us Your blessings, O Lord.
  Make things right, O God, our Savior.
  May ours be the generation that seeks You. Then may we find You in 
our work, in our living, and in our world.
  In Your sovereign name we pray.
  Amen.
