The Mount Newsletter for April 1, 2026

Have you invited your guest for Resurrection Sunday?

Send somebody (who hasn't connected with God yet or doesn't have a church home) this picture and let them know you are personally inviting them to worship at The Mount!

Join us for Baptism at 9:30 AM and Worship at 10:45 AM.



IMPORTANT: Starting next week, we return to the Tuesday and Thursday Prayer Calls. If DialPad is calling you for the Lenten prayer calls and you DO NOT want to continue being called, please email webmaster@smzbc.org with your name and phone number so that we can take you off the list. If we don't hear from you, DialPad will continue to call you on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

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.
