The Mount Newsletter for January 28, 2026

Because ice remains an issue in our parking lot, the Church Office will remain closed on Thursday. Our staff (Pastor, Executive Minister, and Administrative Assistant) are checking emails.

We are aware of this weekend's forecast. We will keep you informed as to what changes may be made for Saturday rehearsal and Sunday morning worship.

The Whip, the Hammer, and the Cross Casting Call

On Saturday, April 4th, we will once again tell the old, old story in a new, refreshing way. We will embody the Gospel of Matthew with acting, singing, and dancing. There will be lots of drama and even a little bit of comedy as we share the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. We'd love to have you join us in the cast or crew. Each year, Rev. Butler tailors the script to the cast that signs up. So...we need you to let us know you are interested. Sisters of Sixth Mount Zion, we know you'll represent! We need at least 15 brothers in the cast and probably that many on the crew too. Can we count on you? Rehearsals will begin February 15th. 

Sign Me Up

At Sixth Mount Zion, we don't believe in begging members for money. But, we do believe that being a good steward over the finances God blesses us with is an important part of discipleship. By the end of the month, 2025 Contribution Statements will be sent to those whom we have email addresses for. Those who've given more than $1,000.00 but we don't have an email address for will be printed. Others will be printed upon request.

We switched to a new church management system last year, so we ask that you review your statement for accuracy and let us know as soon as possible if there are any discrepancies.

As we end the first month of January, prayerfully consider what you have been giving and, if you know God is calling you to do more, take a faith step today!

In an effort to keep everyone safe during worship and ministry activities, our Trustees are asking all members and guests to help us maintain a secure environment. In this current climate, we must all do our part to stay vigilant and protect one another. Please remember the following important guidelines:

Be aware of your surroundings at all times while on church property. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, notify a Trustee or Staff Person immediately.

Do not prop open any exterior doors under any circumstances. All doors should remain closed and locked unless they are being actively monitored.

Arrive on Time for Worship: Arriving on time also helps us maintain a secure environment, as it reduces the need to open the exterior doors multiple times once worship has begun.

Exit the building promptly after worship and other events so that our Trustees can properly secure the church.

Thank you for partnering with us to make Sixth Mount Zion a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
