We are sad to share the news that T. Marshall Kelly passed away this week. In a career that spanned over 70 years in the gospel ministry, Elder Kelly served the Seventh-day Adventist church as a pastor, Bible teacher, and singing evangelist. In retirement, he served as a college chaplain and interim pastor of two churches in Southern California. When memorial service details are finalized, we will share them.

February is Black History Month, and it offers an opportunity for Americans to learn details of their nation’s history that, unfortunately, are far too often neglected and pushed to the side. Black history is American history—and it’s a varied and rich history. For Black History Month resources on our website, go to:
