Zion Reformed Church (Chambersburg, Pennsylvania)

Zion Reformed Church (Chambersburg, Pennsylvania)

Zion Reformed Church of the United Church of Christ, more commonly known as Zion Reformed Church or Zion UCC is a congregation of the United Church of Christ in the borough of Chambersburg, PA. It belongs to the Mercersburg Association of the Penn Central Conference of the United Church of Christ.

The congregation was organized in 1778 or 1779, but its first church building was not built until 1811-1813. This structure is still used for weekly worship, besides special services and other events, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Besides the building itself, its two original chandeliers are of interest. The chandelier in the entryway is plain and has been electrified. The other, in the sanctuary, is a Waterford crystal chandelier, [http://www.zionucc-chambersburg.org/] and is similar to some which are found in St Paul's Cathedral, although it is larger than them. It is lit on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve every year.
