Obama Family Attend Church Services at Marine Base in Hawaii

President Barack Obama, his family and friends went to church at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on the Sunday after Christmas.

The first family arrived at a chapel at Marine Corps Base Hawaii mid-morning for a multi-denominational service. The Obamas were greeted by clapping parishioners and a band playing "Joy to the World" as they were led to their seats in the front row.

In his sermon, chaplain Steve Moses asked worshippers to recommit to God in the new year. He also joked that the reason God put him through a recent heart surgery was so he wouldn't suffer a heart attack while preaching before the president.

Obama was the first worshipper to take communion, dipping the wafer in wine before placing it in his mouth. Read the rest at Hawaii's Star Advertiser
