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 Men of The Mount Book Club Thursday at 6:30 PM

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.
