Pick Up Your Pre-Ordered Book & Gratitude Kit

Whether you ordered the "I've Got a Testimony!" devotional or not, we want ALL members to join us in our No Complaints November Challenge. This is an invitation to shift our mindset, deepen our gratitude, and grow in faith together as a church family.

🙌🏾 How It Works

For the entire month of November, we’re committing to let gratitude guide us — even when life gets frustrating. Here’s how you can participate:

  • ✋🏾 No Complaining: When you’re tempted to complain, pause and name something you’re grateful for instead.
  • 🤲🏾 No Stressing: Release what you can’t control and trust God with the rest.
  • 🙌🏾 No Worrying: Replace anxious thoughts with worship and prayer.
  • ✋🏾 No Fearing: Lean into faith and remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear.
  • 🤲🏾 No Chaos: Pursue peace in your mind, home, and conversations.

At Sixth Mount Zion, we don't just go to church, we are the church.

This is not just a part of our Mission Litany, it is part of the vision that God has given Pastor Nelson. We are called to be the hands, feet, eyes, and heart of God on the earth. That means we do our part to help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, shelter the unhoused, and visit the imprisoned.

On Sunday, November 30th, we will NOT have worship in the building. Instead, we will send out Members of the Mount to be representatives of God's love in a tangible way. Stay tuned for the link for registration!

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.

Need a Ride to Worship?

If you need transportation, please contact the church office (804-648-7511) by Friday at 12:00 PM. Let us know that you plan to attend worship every Sunday and you will stay on the list each week. It is your responsibility to let the church office know by Friday if you will NOT need a ride.

The Mount Newsletter for December 21, 2025

This year, our Memorial Service is being held on December 21st. What you may not know is that because it is the Winter Solstice (the longest night), the date is often the setting for "Blue Christmas" or "Longest Night" services in Christian traditions, offering a space for those grieving or feeling lonely during the holidays to find comfort, hope, and recognition for their pain, acknowledging that Christmas isn't joyful for everyone, focusing on the promise of light in darkness. So, even if you do not have a member on this year's Memorial Roll Call, but are grieving someone or something no longer with you, you are invited to come on over to the afternoon service to be in virtual community with others because you are not alone! We'll be live on Facebook, YouTube, and DialPad Meetings (audio only).
