FLINT, MI -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be in Flint Sunday where she will hear first hand from residents about the city's water crisis.

Clinton is scheduled to attend a community meeting with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver and local residents on Sunday, Feb. 7 at the House Of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church, located at 1851 West Carpenter Road in Flint, at 1:30 p.m. Doors open at 9:30 a.m.

City of Flint Public Relations Director Kristin Moore said there will be a regular worship service at 11 a.m. Moore said everyone who comes to the church will have to go through security.

Clinton will also use her trip to urge the Republican-controlled Senate to approve the Senate Democrats' $600 million amendment to help Flint, according to a news release from Hillary for America. Senate Democrats on Thursday, Feb. 4 blocked an energy bill after Republicans refused to include hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency federal aid to Flint.

The presidential candidate's visit to Flint comes after several weeks of action to bring attention to the Flint water crisis.

In January Clinton sent two top aides to Flint to meet with Weaver.

News of the trip comes after the Democratic National Committee agreed to sanction a debate between Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders in Flint for March 6.

The Clinton campaign called for a debate Jan. 30 in the city that is currently in the national spotlight due to its water crisis.

Clinton previously discussed the water issue during debates in Charleston, S.C. and New Hampshire, and also penned an op-ed for MSNBC.
