                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God our creator, we pray this day that in Your immeasurable mercy, 
You would look favorably upon us. We bow our heads to our hearts and 
pray for compassion for the needs You call us to attend and for 
awareness to the burdens borne by the fellow servants we serve 
alongside.
  Give us this day a spirit of wisdom and understanding. May the eyes 
of our hearts be enlightened to the hope to which You call us. May our 
wills be open and receptive to accomplish the tasks You would have us 
do. May our spirits be keen to share Your love with all those we 
encounter.
  Lord, You have blessed us richly with a remarkable legacy. May we 
acknowledge that glorious inheritance of faith with lives worthy of the 
mantle of responsibility You have laid upon us.
  Give us the courage to live into Your grace plan for us this day. We 
pray this in the strength of Your holy name.
