You may be seated. I would now like to invite to the podium reverend frederick a. Buechner director at calvary episcopal church. His church was founded the same year that andersonville opened. Reverend buechner will open our service with an invocation. Let us pray. Remember in think kingdom, ou god, those who laid their lives down for their friends. Grant them rest in the land of the living, in the joy of par paradi paradise, whence all pain and grief have gone away. Grant that they may ma be numbered among the host of think redeemed, going forth conquering and conquer with thee their ever lasting, lord. This day oh lord to our prayers where we beseech think mercy for the souls of think service who thou have biden to leave this world to thou hallowed place. Grant them place in think kingdom of peace and light. Amen. Thank you reverend buechner. For the prisoners at andersonville, prayers provided comfort, community and sometimes even solutions.
