Washington's church at Powhick was attended mostly by Martha.

George Washington was elected to the vestry of Pohick Church (Truro Parish) in 1762. I find it hard to believe that his attendance was so sporadic, except when duty required it.

Our HOA used to meet at Pohick Church.

He was one of the founders of the Powhick church; I will visit there some day for sure. I try and attend mass at the churches the General attended. So far, only three (Christ Church in Alexandria; Christ Church in Philadelphia; and St Paul’s Chapel in NYC). When he could, he attended with Martha and the family, but for reasons only known to him, he never took communion, but Martha always did.
