Where We've Been . . .

As mentioned on our opening page, Clinton United Methodist Church has been serving our area for almost 150 years. Here are some views from both long ago and the recent past . . .

This is an undated picture taken from the other side of what is now Tecumseh St. You can see a row of hitching posts heading up what is now Church St. toward the Episcopal church in Clinton. On the right side of the picture sits what is now the Smith-Kimball Community Center.

This photo is from a postcard postmarked 1909 and shows a view south on Clinton-Tecumseh Road. The pine trees on the right are still standing today.

In the late 1970s/early 1980s, the church building was repainted a light gray. If you look behind the church building to the right, you can see a portion of the education building which was added in the early 1960s. The structure of the church is essentially the same today, but the brick has been repainted to match the traditional red of the earlier photos.

We are now located just south of the village and are planning the construction of a new pavilion that we hope will be part of our congregation's exciting mission for the next millenium--to spread the gospel and the word of Jesus Christ's love for all of us.
