Sunday morning worship begins at 10:15AM. Children and adults of all ages are welcome and encouraged to participate in worship and all activities.

Zion United Church of Christ has a rich history in 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 Ash Wednesday, and during Holy Week.
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 age or denominational affiliation.
Zion UCC has been an active part of the United Church of Christ since its inception in 1957. A member of the Covenant Association of the Pennsylvania Southeast Conference, Zion collaborates with other UCC churches in the association for missions projects. Zion's pastor also participates in the Conrad Weiser Ministerial Association which embraces diversity in the various denomination's present. The group provides for the public mid-week Lenten services & Conrad Weiser Baccalaureate, among other opportunities sharing in ministry together.
Outreach has long been part of Zion UCC's ministry. We support the Conrad Weiser Food Bank and the Western Berks Shepherding Ministry and Opportunity House in Reading. 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.
