                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  O Lord, our God, may the words of our mouths and the meditations of 
our hearts be acceptable to You. May the fields we plant and the seeds 
we sow be watered by Your hand. May the harvest we gather and the food 
we share meet the needs of Your people. And may the work we do and the 
decisions we make this day be found within Your divine plan.
  All good gifts around us--the ability to speak, the opportunity to 
tend the earth, the grace to see the world as You see it, and the 
desire to serve where You call us--are all sent from Heaven above.
  We thank You, then, with humble hearts, asking that You receive the 
gifts of our passion and compassion, our dedication and motivation, our 
wealth and ourselves, as we offer them in response to Your bountiful 
love.
  In gratitude for Your grace and in Your sovereign name we pray. Amen.
