Reverend Clinton L. Barlow will preach at the Haddonfield First Baptist Church on Sunday, June 22 at 11 a.m. in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of his ordination at First Baptist on June 4, 1964.
Born and raised in Haddonfield, Clint is a graduate of HMHS class of 1957. He is also a graduate of Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA and Colgate Rochester Divinity School, Rochester, NY.
Over the past 50 years, Clint has served five American Baptist Churches in Connecticut, up state New York and Massachusetts. Currently semi-retired, he serves as part-time pastor of the Millbury Baptist Church in Millbury, MA.
During his years of growing up at First Baptist in the 1940’s, 1950’s and early 1960’s, pastors of the church Woodrow W. Clark, Robert G. Middleton, Sr., Alfred J. Jeffries, Brian F. Archibald and Edward D. Elmore were a major influence in Clint’s life.
Clint attended First Baptist with his maternal grandmother, Ella Olenschlager. He remembers many wonderful people from church. Two who stand out are Laura Yerkes Williams, who was the church secretary and his youth group leader; also Albert Dudley, who was the church sexton.
Clint would be delighted to greet anyone who remembers him that morning after church.
