Barack Obama and Family Courted by D.C. Churches

Churches in Washington, D.C., are already cornering President-elect Barack Obama and his family to possibly join their congregation, according to the Associated Press. Still, whatever church path Obama decides to take it will likely be scrutinized because of the wide controversy stemmed around Obama's former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, for making damaging comments in the pulpit. A spokesman for Obama's transition team refused to disclose which church the Obamas might join.

The Obamas already are members of a church.I think their pastor should be the one to guide them regarding who should keep watch over them while in DC.

Holy Trinity Worship Center International on Minnesota Avenue, NE Washington, DC. A church where you can fellowship without the pressure, while still believing in family values and a real understanding about God. A family church that works hard and stands together as a united front. They have retreats and fun things for the youth to do (i.e., roller skating parties, retreats, etc.)
