                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Send, O Lord, Your spirit to move among us in this place. Guide us 
into Your truth, a truth that is not of our authority nor bound by our 
place in time.
  Reveal to us a truth beyond our every memory, greater than our best 
knowledge, deeper than we can possibly imagine. May our hearts, our 
heads, and our wills be open to that which is Your truth alone. May we 
let go of our own designs, loose our certain grip on our desires, and 
yield to Your righteous plan for us and for all creation.
  Great Creator, use this day to give us a fresh anointing to serve 
Your people. Life bestower, give us, in this moment, a new awakening to 
lay hold of the hope You set before us.
  Eternal advocate, equip and empower us with the truth You reveal and 
uphold us with the strength You supply this day and always.
  In Your sovereign name we pray.
  Amen.
