The Mount Newsletter for October 18, 2026

Pastor Nelson will be teaching about Joseph, his brothers, and the grief associated with unfulfilled dreams. We'll also talk about how this biblical story relates to Question 3 of of Virginia's proposed Constitutional Amendments. Come for the lesson, stay for the discussion.


We spent all summer talking about "Becoming the Church".
Now, we have an opportunity to "Be the Church!"

Our “Don’t Go to Church, Be the Church Outreach”
will take place on
Sunday, November 1st.
For new members, this is when we cancel "regular" Sunday morning worship in order to serve God's people in real time. Registration begins today, Wednesday. Registration is necessary to help us plan for the number of outreach activities we can offer.
118 People Have Registered So Far...Have You?

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.
