The “Together” is back! Thanks to Nicholas Honeycutt and our office staff, we are trying a new format. Once a month we will send our newsletter out electronically and have printed copies available. It is an important way to know what is happening at Mars Hill Baptist Church. We are an active church family with a lot of things going on. We will try to help you be better informed, and let you know more ways you can participate. There is no question that we are better “Together”.
April was an amazing musical month!
April was a month filled with wonderful music. On Palm Sunday, The Chancel Choir, accompanied by our brilliant organist/pianist Jessica Siple and a delightful chamber orchestra along with many talented soloists and narrators; LinDa Campbell and Bill Welsch presented “Worthy Is the Lamb”. It was sublime!!
Easter Sunday the choir announced the Threefold Truth - “Christ Has Died, Christ Is Risen, Christ Will Come Again” , the flower cross was decorated beautifully with flowers from your gardens, and a stirring Resurrection Day sermon preached by our pastor, Tommy Justus.
On April 27, our Children’s Choir, accompanied by the gifted Denise Dellinger, piano along with several incredible soloists and narrators from the Children’s Choir.
We are thankful for all the talented folks who share their musical gifts to praise God and bless our congregation and community! Our Choirs will be taking a hiatus for the summer. We would love to have YOU join us when we resume this fall!!
Blessings and peace,
Sharon
Our middle school and high school youth group meet every other Sunday evening at 5:30. Students in grades 6-12 are invited to join the group. It's a great way to build community and empower your Faith!
We have registered a group of 13 students to participate in UniDiversity Camp at Maryville College this summer. Several youth from First Baptist Weaverville may also join our group this summer at camp.

Dr. John Hough has served as the Sunday School Superintendent at Mars Hill Baptist Church for over 50 years.
Dr. Hough is the first to greet a visitor and find out who you are. He usually can make a connection with someone or somewhere with each visitor. Dr. Hough taught in the education program at Mars Hill College from 1962-1984, and again from 1994 until his retirement in 1998. He has recently served as leader of the Mars Hill University Retirees Group. He has served on the Smart Start Board for Madison County and many other civic clubs and organizations. He is an advocate for children and education.
A fun fact about Dr. Hough is that as a retired elementary school principal, he has provided a lot of men in the church with some wonderful ties!
