The president and the first lady joined parishioners for Sunday’s 11 a.m. service at St. John’s Church, a historic yellow church across from the White House and Lafayette Park.
Every president since James Madison, who served in the 1800s, has attended a service at St. John’s, according to the church.
The Rev. W. Bruce McPherson greeted the Trumps after the short drive from the White House.
