FMZBC FACILITIES TEAM
FMZBC Recycles: The Facilities De-partment reminds church members, staff and guests they can be good stewards of our natural resources by recycling at home, school, work and church. There are numerous recycling bins throughout the church and in most cases recycling bins are co-located with trash recepta-cles. Recycling bins can be found in the narthex, in the office area, and the Grain of Heaven. At First Mount Zion we prac-tice single stream recycling, which means all recyclable items can go into same recycling bin. Make sure you put all pa-per, cardboard and paperboard packaging and emptied plastic soda and water bot-tles and plastic juice containers, soda cans and tin cans in the recycling bins. These items can all be recycled and used to make new items, saving energy and natural resources and it helps pre-serve the earth that God has given us dominion over. Your cooperation is ap-preciated.
PARKING MINISTRY
The parking ministry needs your help to
prevent your car from being damaged.
The parking lot on the cemetery side is
set up for compact cars only. We ask that
all large vehicles, SUV’s and trucks park
in front or rear parking lots. The parking
ministry will be sending you to these lots.
Thank you for working with us.
