just think of all the previous WH parishioners!!!

About St. John’s

Located across from the White House, St. John’s, Lafayette Square is known as “The Church of the Presidents” and is registered as a national historic landmark. Since its first service in October 1816, every United States president has attended a service at St. John’s. The Rev. Dr. Luis León is rector.

NY Times:

And yet, I was a bit surprised to see a PPP poll showing that 45 percent of Alabama Republicans
think Mr. Obama is a Muslim, and only 14 percent know that he’s actually a Christian. In Mississippi,
the same poll showed that a majority of Republicans, 52 percent, believe the Muslim lie.

when the older one got to tweendom, she got her own ideas of what to do on Sunday morning, and just about everything else! The youngest is still the sunny kid she always was...for the time being.

Was imagining three Barack Obama's walking in and talking to each other... or something. I guess I have an active imagination.

But yes, good pictures!
