Sisters' Summer Book Club Starts Wednesday

📖 Sessions begin July 2ND

🕖 Wednesdays at 6:30 PM

📍 Location: Virtual on DialPad Meetings


The Sisters of Sixth Book Club is ready to dive into an emotionally layered novel telling the story about four generations of Black women navigating love, trauma, motherhood, and the complicated legacy of silence. It’s a celebration of what we carry, what we confront, and what we become when we choose healing over hiding.

For our first gathering, please read Part 1: Snakes and come ready to answer these questions: "What makes you a grown woman?" and "has your definition of being a grown woman changed as you have changed?"

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.
