Zion United Church of Christ has a long history of service to the Womelsdorf area. It was founded in 1792 as a German Reformed Church in union with Zion Lutheran Church. The two congregations built their current buildings in 1917. The two congregations continue to work together providing joint worship on Thanksgiving, Ash Wednesday, and during Holy Week.
Zion UCC has been an active part of the United Church of Christ since its inception in 1957. It is a member of the Covenant Association of the Pennsylvania Southeast Conference. Zion's pastor also participates in the Conrad Weiser Ministerial Association.
Sunday morning worship begins at 10:00 a.m. all year round beginning September 10th, 2017. Services of Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist) are held on church holy days and are open to all Christians without regard to denominational affiliation.
Outreach has long been part of Zion UCC's ministry. We support the Conrad Weiser Food Bank and the Western Berks Shepherding Ministry. We have sent two mission teams to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, have worked on three Habitat for Humanity houses in Reading, sent a team to Bergen County, New Jersey for Superstorm Sandy relief.
Zion UCC holds special services at various times during the year. Evening worship begins at 7:30 p.m. For more details on these services, check the Calendar of Events tab. Services combined with Zion Lutheran Church alternate between the two congregations and includes both pastors.
Zion UCC is well-known for its annual Strawberry Festival held at the church on the first Saturday in June. Strawberry Shortcake is featured, with other foods available. Games, raffles and entertainment are held throughout the afternoon.
Some additional activities to participate in include a spaghetti supper, open to the community, held the third Saturday in September. A Christmas cookie sale in early December and delicious chocolate peanut butter Easter eggs are made in the spring.
