Beloved Members and Friends of MHUMC,

As we celebrate the many good fruits of Reverend Robert English’s service in our church, and extend our thanks and best wishes for his future work, your Pastor Parish Relations Committee is pleased to share the news that Bishop Gregory Palmer has appointed the Reverend Dr. Jerome Weaver to lead our congregation beginning in July.

Reverend Weaver has a wealth of experience in counseling, preaching, teaching, and youth ministry. His first Sunday in the pulpit will be July 10.

Joseph Dilley is a native of Ohio. He began studying piano at age 8 and began organ study at age 12. He enjoyed playing for several hometown churches during his youth in Ironton, Ohio. In the 1990’s, he came to Cincinnati to study piano, composition, organ, and conducting at the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati and later, Music Education at Xavier University. He currently teaches chorus and general music for Sycamore Schools at E. H. Greene Intermediate School. He is active as an accompanist and church musician.   

Joe has two grown children and one granddaughter. He is married to Joe Miller who sings bass in our church choir. For Joe, music is both a vocation and a hobby. His other hobbies include aquarium fish keeping, landscaping, and furniture refinishing. He enjoys helping with the family antique booth.
