                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our shelter in life's storms, Your Kingdom is above all 
earthly kingdoms. Today, empower the Members of this body with the 
wisdom, courage, and strength needed for our times. Infuse them with 
the passion to act in ways that honor Your Name.
  Lord, preserve their health and strength by Your mercy and power. May 
they find Your grace sufficient for every need.
  Bless also the citizens of this great land. Give them the wisdom to 
pray for our government and our leaders, so that all people may live 
quiet and peaceful lives in all goodness and holiness.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
