Welcome back!
Following months of quietly checking out numerous churches to call his spiritual home, President Obama made a surprising choice. He followed his predecessor, George W. Bush, and decided on the nondenominational Camp David church.
After the public circus when visiting local Washington, D.C. churches, he decided he wanted to worship far away from the public eye. Most people who have followed President Obama know that he has a strong spiritual side.
In choosing the rustic stone and glass Evergreen Chapel as his place of worship, he is confirming the importance of that side of his life.
Evergreen Chapel is a 150-seat church holds seats about 50 to 70 people each Sunday. The church serves approximately 400 Camp David military personnel and staff, and their families.
An interesting side note: The current Chaplain at Evergreen, Lieutenant Carey Cash is the great-nephew of Johnny Cash. The chaplains serve three years and then are rotated out. Cash is a thirty-eight-years-old Memphis native who graduated from the Citadel.
Hopefully, the President will have the opportunity to visit the church as often as his schedule allows.
It is great to have another man of faith in the White House. May our prayers be with him during his stay in office.
