                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Eternal God, from the beginning of time, You have loved us, and it is 
in Your steadfast love that we find strength, redemption, and meaning.
  In the beginning of this week, may we give careful and prayerful 
thought to the purposes for which You have called us, that we would 
honor this holy calling not appraised to the standards of our work, nor 
measured by the accomplishments we set out to achieve. Rather, in 
concert with Your will, may our hearts and minds be in one accord with 
Your grace plan.
  Take, then, our best intentions and shape them to Your purposes. Take 
our fervent feelings and mold them to Your desires. Take this day and 
use all that we do to glorify You, that we would honor Your presence 
among us.
  In the hope to be found in Your name, we pray.
  Amen.
