The Forsyth County United Usher Board has awarded the Joseph Clinton Academic Scholarship to Sydnie Rogers (First Place) and Makaiala Sitton (Second Place).
These youth ushers were required to write an essay from a list of selected topics, submit letters of recommendation and high school transcript and cite community and church involvement.
Sydnie Rogers is a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where Dr. Serenus Churn is pastor, and plans to attend UNC at Charlotte.
Her essay topic was, “Sunday School, Do I Really Have to Go?”
Makaiala Sitton is a member of the New Jerusalem Baptist Church, where the Rev. Ronald E. Speas is pastor, and plans to attend Campbell University.
Her essay topic was, “Serving God’s People, The Job of an Usher.”
The Forsyth County United Usher Board promotes, supports and implements ushering programs, as well as provides training and guidance with regard to usher protocols.
The organization is 91 years old and the current president is April Timmons.
