                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Holy God, who abides above us and within us, be present among us this 
day. You who are in Your Heavens, look down upon us and grant us Your 
peace.
  We pray Your mercy in the forgiveness of our trespasses.
  You are the mighty one who will save us. Would that You rejoice in 
us, that what we do would bring You gladness. Find reason to exalt over 
us that our devotion would bring You joy.
  Show us Your favor in all our endeavors, that You would be glorified.
  To be near You is our desire this day, for You alone are the source 
of our life and in You do we find strength and hope.
  In Your sovereign name we pray.
  Amen.
