On Monday, January 20th, Pastor David Thorpe had the distinguished honor and privilege of being the keynote speaker for the Tri-County MLK Coalition 40th Anniversary banquet in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day. This was the first time a Seventh-day Adventist spoke for the event. It gave the New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church of Salisbury, Md another opportunity to be highlighted as a church that is on the move in helping the community. Dr. Colby Matlock Sr. was in attendance along with a few members from New Life Church to support.
