Beloved, this is the day you designated by Concurrent Resolution as "Disabilities Day." Hear the psalmist in Psalm 72 (v.12):

"He shall deliver the needy

when he crieth;

The poor also, and him that

hath no helper."
Let us pray.

God of mercy, and love, and hope, as we greet the wistful, hopeful faces of our guests, the children, adults and friends with disabilities, we give thanks for the multitude that have helped in so many ways that their hearts may be filled with hope and their bodies fulfill their potential in a world of stress.

We remember with special gratitude the long hours of labor by folk like Harold Corley, the South Carolina Restaurant Association, the Law Enforcement Officer's Association, the medical doctors, technicians and therapists who share the time, the talents, their prayers, their patience, and their hopes.

We pray for a full measure of joy and satisfaction to those who give their money and share in the thrill of healing and health.

Let us remember how Jesus went about Galilee not only preaching but healing bodies.

... and follow in His train.

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
