  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rev. David N. 
Harrington of Good Hope Baptist Church in Asbury Park, New Jersey on 
his 20th pastoral anniversary. Rev. Harrington continues to provide 
outstanding spiritual leadership to the greater Asbury Park community.
  Rev. Harrington received his Masters of Divinity Degree from New 
Brunswick Theological Seminary. Installed as Pastor of Good Hope 
Baptist Church on September 15, 1996, Rev. Harrington's background has 
helped him lead his congregation. Prior to his service to Good Hope 
Baptist Church, Rev. Harrington was an Associate Minister for three 
years at St. Paul Baptist Church and was also a member of the Trustee 
Board. A basketball player at Delaware State University, Rev. 
Harrington was also President of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
  In addition to his service to Good Hope Baptist Church, Rev. 
Harrington is an active member of his community. As a member of the 
pastoral staff at Jersey Shore University Medical Center and the Drug 
Prevention Coordinator for the Long Branch Housing Authority, Rev. 
Harrington continues to offer guidance and support to the greater 
community.
  Currently residing in Neptune, New Jersey, Rev. Harrington and his 
wife Cecelia are blessed with two children, a daughter, Ivy and a son, 
Seth. Rev. Harrington is a graduate of Middletown High School South and 
earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from 
Delaware State University.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in celebrating the 20th 
Pastoral Anniversary of Rev. David N. Harrington. His leadership, 
service and dedication to the church and community are truly deserving 
of this body's recognition.
