WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended a music-filled Christmas Eve service at Family Church in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Pastor Jimmy Scroggins and his family greeted the Trumps as they arrived moments into a “Candlelight Christmas Celebration” and received applause and cheers while taking reserved seats in the church’s third pew.

It was a change of pace for the Trumps, who had attended holiday services in the past at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the Episcopal Church in Palm Beach at which they were married in 2005.
