The Obamas Worship At Zion Baptist Church

The First Family visited the historic Zion Baptist Church for the first time on Sunday, attending a service devoted to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

President Obama and First Lady Obama sat with their daughters as Deacon Hendri Williams read from the Rev. King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." (Above: The WH released this photo of the President, Mrs. Obama and daughter Sasha singing during the service)

Sunday's program books, titled "I have a dream," had a picture of King on the cover, according to pool, as well as a request for donations of "new and gently used warm blankets, sleeping bags, hand and feet warmers," for Occupy DC, which has one camp located three blocks from the White House. The President placed "what looked like a white envelope" in the collection basket as it was passed, according to pool.

The Rev. Keith W. Byrd, Sr, is the pastor of Zion Baptist, located on Blagden Ave., NW. The First Family spent about 90 minutes at the church, after entering through a side door at 10:32 AM. It was founded in 1864 by African Americans who moved to Washington from Fredericksburg, Va.

Last month, the President and his family walked across Lafayette Square Park to attend services at St. John’s Church Episcopal Church, where they have worshipped before. They attended Christmas services at the chapel at Marine Corps Base in Hawaii, where they have also worshipped previously. The Obamas have also attended services at Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church, 19th Street Baptist Church, the Washington National Cathedral, Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, and Shiloh Baptist Church since moving to Washington.

After services, the President played basketball with his daughters and their friends at FBI headquarters, for about an hour and a half.
