The National Baptist Laymen’s Movement announced seven scholarship awards and New Jersey received two of them. Marcus James Hopper won first place, receiving a $5,000.00 scholarship. Dyshon Mitchell was the fourth-place winner, receiving a $1,500.00 scholarship. Marcus Hopper will be attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, and Dyshon Mitchell is enrolled at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD.

Both Junior Laymen are members of Community Baptist Church of Englewood, and their pastor is Rev. Dr. Lester W. Taylor Jr., the Northeast Region’s vice president. Integral to the student’s successes were Deacon Dr. Bernard Gantt, who serves as the Laymen’s Education Committee chairperson; and Sister Valerie Payton, team leader on the CBC Educational Council, who prepared our Junior Laymen for the process. —TPC Staff
