Before Sunday's service at Grace United Methodist Church, the Democratic presidential candidate stood in the lobby and greeted dozens of people, shaking hands and posing for photographs. She was greeted by warm clapping during the children's service.
Former Iowa Attorney General Bonnie Campbell, the first woman to hold that job, invited the New York senator to the church. Clinton sat next to Campbell, her Iowa campaign co-chair, during the service.
In her sermon, the Rev. Jill Flyr asked the congregation to "let the candidates know that they need to be strong advocates for children."
Jared Brees of West Des Moines, had his picture taken with Clinton and said meeting the White House hopeful was "pretty cool." The 18-year-old said he thinks he will vote for Clinton when he makes it to the polls for the first time.
"I think she has some good plans and could do a lot for the government," he said.
