US President Barack Obama and the first family paid a rare visit to church yesterday, joining about 100 other worshipers in the chapel on a Marine base nearby their Hawaiian vacation home.
The president, first lady and daughters Sasha and Malia sat in the front row of St. Michael's chapel, singing and clapping along with other parishioners to hymns that included "Oh Holy Night" and "Joy to the World."
Obama has not been a frequent church-goer since moving to the White House in January 2009, which aides say reflects his desire not to inconvenience other worshipers with the inevitable disruption of a presidential church visit.
The Obamas are keeping a low profile during their 11-day Hawaiian vacation. The president has exercised in the Marine Base gym most mornings, and is receiving daily intelligence briefings, but has stayed largely out of public view.
