                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Loving God, like a shepherd, lead us into this day. You have blessed 
us with the refreshment of mercy and shelter. You have led us to drink 
freely from the still waters of Your grace. Refresh both our minds and 
our souls for the work that lies ahead.
  Then guide us along the path of righteousness. Though the way is 
enshrouded with the darkness of these times, remind us that we have no 
need to fear, for You remain with us. Guide us with Your rod of 
protection. Comfort us with the strong staff of Your compassion.
  Open our eyes to the bounty You set before us, a feast rich with Your 
abiding presence, anointed with Your wisdom, overflowing with evidence 
of Your steadfast provision.
  Surely, Your goodness and love will remain with us, now and in all 
the days to come.
  May all in this House dwell with You this day.
  Amen.
