Fresh off a recent trip to visit estranged husband Ben Affleck in the UK, the mommy-son duo appeared content in returning to their typical weekend activities.  

Jennifer covered up in a chunky grey sweater with quilted detailing, black trousers, and chic sandals. 

True to form, the actress let her natural beauty shine through with minimal makeup and a casual ponytail while a burgundy purse with a colorful strap slung over her slender shoulder. 

The mom of three kept her hand clutched to a Bible as she looked relatively serious heading into the church.

Be a yummy mummy in Azzedine Alaïa like Jennifer

She’s known for her low-key style, but Jennifer Garner is not afraid of splashing out on expensive shoes from time to time! The yummy mummy was spotted in a pair of laser-cut flat sandals from Azzedine Alaïa earlier this week, as she arrived to church on Sunday with her kids. What a hot mama!

Summer is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to ditch sneakers and boots in favor for a pair of statement sandals. Open toe flat sandals will be your best friends this summer, as they go perfectly with shorts, jeans or even a cocktail dress. All you need to do is book that pedicure!

Jennifer’s shoes from Azzedine Alaïa are up for grabs at Brown’s fashion, and having seen these sandals in the high heel version on Kourtney Kardashian and other A-listers, it’s safe to say that they’ll turn heads (right).

Samuel dressed for the occasion in a pair of grey pants, a black sweatshirt and buckled leather sneakers. 

As are most children his age, the child came prepared to occupy himself during the church service with two toy swords tucked into his backpack.

The two were joined by Garner's other two children, six-year-old Seraphina and 10-year-old Violet.

While promoting Miracles From Heaven in February, the 13 Going on 30 star opened up about the evolution of her religious beliefs at a Q&A in Texas.

'I grew up going to church every Sunday of my life, and when I did move to L.A., it wasn't something that was just part of the culture in the same way, at least in my life,' she explained. 

'But there was something about doing this film and talking to my kids about it and realizing that they were looking for the structure of church every Sunday. 

'So it was a great gift of this film that it took us back to finding our local Methodist church and going every Sunday. It's really sweet.'

Later, she echoed the same sentiment while speaking to the Today show in March.

'The thing about this film was it kind of encouraged me to reengage in just participating - not just believing - actually participating in raising my children so that they have the same background my parents gave my sisters and me.' 

Over Easter Sunday, Garner and her brood, including Affleck, Sam and seven-year-old Seraphina, put on a united front as they attended church together.
