The Mount Newsletter for August 13, 2025

For years, SMZBC has partnered with George Washington Carver Elementary School, as part of our church’s mission. We’ve been invited to help create a welcoming, safe, and smooth arrival experience for students as they begin the school year. Student arrival begins at 7:30 AM on Tuesday, August 19th, and we’ve been told that our presence would mean a great deal.


They asked for 10 members (Pastor Nelson and Rev. Butler will be two of the 10, so we need 8 more) If you are able to make this a memorable and spirited start to the school year, please click here to register! We need you to register, please don't just show up at the school.



The Sisters of Sixth Mount Zion Summer Book Club
continues Wednesday at 6:30 PM

(Read chapters 7-8)


The Men of The Mount Book Club Thursday at 6:30 PM
(in-person at the church)

(Read chapters 1-2)








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.

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. NEW: We will be hosting "The Mount Market" on-site (weather permitting, we'll be outside). We will also send out Members of the Mount to be representatives of God's love in a tangible way. Stay tuned for the link for registration!
