The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the

following prayer:

How grateful we are, O Lord, our creator, that You have given us

life. As the trees burst forth from their winter slumber, awaken us to the renewal that is ours when we receive from Your hand the gifts of this season.

As the deer longs for water, so our souls seek refreshment from their

deepest thirst. Quench our desires with the assurance that from You alone flows all the blessing we require for this day.

As deep calls to deep, so we call to You, who by day bestow Your

steadfast love and by night offer us the solace of Your tender care.

Our help and our God, we offer ourselves and our prayers to You.

Amen.
