                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Lisa Wink Schultz, Washington, D.C., offered the following 
prayer:
  Holy God, break forth Your light in this place. May we bask in the 
warmth of Your gracious care and in You may we find strength.
  Be our guide. Satisfy our need in the heat of the worst of our 
moments. Where there is a desert of hope, replenish our souls; make 
strong our bodies with the certainty of Your protection.
  In Your mercy renew us like a well-watered garden. Be to us an oasis 
whose waters never fail.
  Then may we be restored and be ready, once again, to care for those 
You have called us to serve, responsive to the vastness of need we see 
before us.
  We follow You in faith and in Your name we pray.
  Amen.
