VISITOR INFORMATION   Would you like to visit the Clinton Presbyterian Church? No matter how friendly and welcoming a church is, visiting any church for the first time can be a little intimidating. You're probably wondering things like:  What is the church like?  Are they friendly?  Will I fit in?  We hope our Web site can answer many of your questions and help to make your first visit with us more relaxing and enjoyable.   If You Need Directions to Clinton Presbyterian Click Here Parking You may park in the Save-A-Lot parking lot across from our church, or you may find a spot somewhere on the street.  If you need assistance Our building has an outside elevator which can take you from the sidewalk on Center St. up to the Sanctuary.  An usher is usually available before worship if you need assistance in operating this lift. We also have available: Hearing Aids which are connect via a radio frequency  to our sound system.   (A Greeter/Usher will be able to assist you finding one of these.)  Worship Service Our worship service begins at 10:30 A.M. The service is a traditional service.  The music is a blend of many styles including traditional, praise, gospel, contemporary, and classical. We have greeters at the entrances to the sanctuary to give you a bulletin and to answer any questions you might have. Some people dress formally, others more on the casual side.  Please just look clean and respectful, as this is a worship service. Please feel free to sit wherever you like, there aren't any reserved seats. (Though occasionally the ushers will rope off a pew or two when necessary. Please avoid those) Our worship services are easy to follow and they last about an hour and fifteen minutes.  The liturgist and the pastor will give any directions needed during the service.     Click Here to see our Sunday Bulletin Guests are given the opportunity to stand and share their name if they choose to do so.  The pastor makes it very clear that if you feel embarrassed by this, you do not have to stand.  We do encourage all guests to put your name and address on the red friendship pad when it is passed. If you have a prayer request, please grab one of our prayer request cards which are located in each pew.  One of the ushers will collect these during the first hymn and then they are given to the pastor.  Please print clearly!  Social Hour You can enjoy some refreshments and fellowship during the Social Hour which immediately follows worship.  Most of the time this is held in the room adjacent to the Sanctuary (Fellowship Hall) although sometimes it is held downstairs in the Westminster Hall.  This is a good time to introduce yourself to others and to find out more about the church. Sunday Morning Christian Education Classes are 9:15 A.M. for all ages. (September - May) For kids and teens we have classes from nursery through high school.  classes meet on all three levels of the church.  Please ask a congregation member if you need help finding a classroom.  For adults, we currently have two options:   The Adult Class is a Bible Study that meets on the lower level, across from the Pastor's Study.  The Lookout Class meets in the chapel, on the main floor off of the Fellowship Hall.  This group is more theme based and has a rotating list of programs to study. Both of these classes are a great way to discuss God's Word, pray, and make new friends.
