The Mount Newsletter for September 28, 2025


Order Your Copy of the 2025 No-vember Devotional "I've Got a Testimony!"

From 2022-2024, our Executive Minister, Rev. Dwylene Butler, wrote a devotional for our "No Complaints November" journey. For 30 days, Mount Members committed to give up complaining and replace it with an attitude of gratitude. 

We are so excited that this year's devotional will feature 30 members sharing their testimonies. Each day will include:

  • Today’s Text (Scripture)
  • Testimony Time (Mount Member's Story)
  • Timeless Tune (Song of the Day)
  • Think On These Things (Short Reflection)
  • Time to Talk with God (Prayer Prompt) 
  • Today’s Takeaway (A truth to carry with you) 

Click Here to preorder the "I've Got a Testimony: 2025 No Complaints November Devotional"! Orders must be placed by October 5th.

SMZBC's Church School and Bible Study Return on Wednesday, October 1st and Sunday, October 5th! Our virtual Bible Study will be taking a deep dive into the Lord's Prayer. The Women's Church School Class will be focusing on prayer too, but in a more intimate, in-person setting.

Those who regularly attend Women's Church School and/or the Sisters of Sixth Mount Zion Summer Book Club can testify that we have a good time together and it helps to build community.

To buy the book we'll be using, click here to purchase: https://square.link/u/o0Hxg1se. If you buy it using our link, you can save $2.27 off the Amazon price...we're selling them for $10.00! (If you ordered your book before 10pm yesterday, it is ready for you to pick up after worship today!) You can also purchase in person after worship on Sunday...please have exact change!

Final Note: If you are unable to afford the book, but want to participate in Church School, please email me at executiveminister@smzbc.org and we will do what we can.
