Obamas Head To Church, Watch World Cup Final On Sunday (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 07/18/11 07:44 AM ET   Updated: 09/17/11 06:12 AM ET

The first family split its Sunday between a church service and soccer-watching.

From the Associated Press:

Accompanied by his wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia, Obama walked through Lafayette Square to attend the 10:30 morning service at the historic St. John's Church.

Obama wore a dark grey suit, while the first lady and Malia wore shades of purple [Editors' note: FLOTUS wore Jason Wu Resort 2011] and Sasha a floral green and white dress.

The hour-long service included readings from the books of Genesis, Romans and Matthew, and the singing of several hymns. The congregation also prayed for family, friends and neighbors, including "for Barack, our president, the leaders of Congress, the Supreme Court and all who are in authority."

The first family participated in holy communion before walking back to the White House.

In the afternoon, the president, Michelle, Sasha and Malia picked up some chips and dip to watch the World Cup final between the U.S. and Japan from the Treaty Room office in the White House.

Take a look at pictures from Sunday and head over here to see what else the Obamas have been up to this summer.

After they first knelt and prayed to Allah, begging him to understand that they have not abandoned their beliefs and it is just a show to keep the US citizens from knowing what they are really about.

And the fact is... it come directly from his mouth.

Good lesson to fathers on fatherhood. Some fathers can manage companies with hundreds of professional staff. Others can supervise factories with millions of skilled workers and stuff, yet back home (if ever)y they cant "manager" one wife, and supervise two children. Somebody teach me about family and fatherhood. Somebody teach me modesty in dressing children up.

I can not believe that people actually think this is news worthy.

Some people preach family values while this family practices them. Their love and respect for one another is naturally evident.

I'm surprised he's not in church more with all the problems we have and especially having to deal with the RepubliKLANs.

I love what they represent as a family.

Poor guy, lives in a house FULL of women. I'm sure the rising and falling hormone levels drive him nutty. They are a lovely family, the girls look like young ladies, not the tattooed and slutishly dressed girls one sees on the streets so often. The oldest one is getting really tall. All in all a really nice visual.

This is exactly what Barack wants the world to recognize, methinks..He is, first and foremost, a father and a husband...and then the most powerful man on the planet.

I'm sure those ladies keep him well grounded...
