It’s the most common prayer spoken in church each Sunday. But where does it come from? And what does it mean?
Chuck gets serious on us as he leads us in the Lord’s Prayer.

JC Reigns at Arcola UMC Saturday Night, for Benefit Concert
Please join us on Saturday evening, 7:00 @ Arcola United Methodist Church for a benefit concert, supporting Camp Highroad.
The evening will be a mix of Christian Family music and video programs highlighting Camp Highroad and its efforts to offer a Christian camp again this summer to anyone who would like to attend.
Last year we were able to send 54 young people who might never have had that opportunity.
In advance, we appreciate your support for this wonderful cause and hope you will plan to join us in this endeavor. The event will be at Arcola UMC, but for Camp Highroad.
The address for the church is:
24757 Evergreen Mills Road, Dulles, VA.
Event will run from 7:00 until 8:30, “everyone is welcome”.

What Are the Different Kinds of Psalms?
This unique Bible addresses the common, uncommon, and perplexing questions people ask about Scripture.
There are many ways to categorize the psalms. Some focus on content (trouble or trust, praise or prayer, joy or repentance). Others emphasize the use of the psalms (public ceremonies, private prayers and so on). Still others analyze style and technique (such as parallelism and acrostics). Here are some general categories:
(1) Hymns of praise. Many psalms were used in temple worship and some even include directions for the song leader. Many are still used as the basis for hymns and praise choruses.
(2) Complaints. Life is tough and many of the psalms reflect that fact. People turn to the psalms in times of distress because the psalms dare to be honest and meet them right where they are.
(3) Royal or Messianic. Many psalms revolved around the king and were intended to be used for public occasions in the life of the nation of Israel. Early Christian teachers, however, recognized that these psalms contained prophetic allusions to Jesus Christ, the King of kings.
(4) Occasional. Referred to as songs of ascent (Ps 120–134), these psalms were so named because they were sung by Israelite pilgrims as they went up to Jerusalem for the annual feasts. Other special occasions often had their own psalms as well.
(5) Wisdom. A few psalms illustrate the difference between human folly and godly wisdom, between sinful and righteous behavior.
Other categories could also be listed: historical, repentance, curse and creation.

Take a Meal
Meal sign-up for the Atwoods, for those who would like information.
Further food ideas from Beth – they love caramelized onions, avoid anything fried, and they enjoy salads and exotic foods.
They do not have any dietary restrictions but they would appreciate healthy meals though desserts are always welcome:)
Please try not to make more than enough for 5 or 6 people since leftovers pile up fast. Gift cards to restaurants are fine as well.
