White House Photos of the Week: Highlights of business at the White House and activities of the president during the week of March 21-25, 2018

-

In pictures, it looks like national security is a focal point in the White House. As a scheduled meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore was canceled this week, Pres. Trump met with South Korea's Moon Jae-in at the White House, marking a contrast in relations between the U.S. and the two enemy nations. On Wednesday Trump headed to New York on Marine One, flanked by support aircraft.   By week's end, the president congratulated Naval Academy graduates. Here are the photos highlighting activities of the week as selected by the White House Press Office.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...
