June 4, 1975 Zion United Church of Christ The Marietta United Church of Christ by Hazel Baker The Marietta United. Church of Christ is observ- ing its 75th anniversary of the laying of its corner stone of the structure on May 27th, 1900. The first service was conducted in the new sanctuary on December 2, 1902. Thus, the committee has designated the period between May 25, 1975 until December 4, 1977 as the anniversary observance. Former pastors have been invited to return, and former members are being asked to participate in these special services. In starting the cele- bration, the bell from the former Old Zion Church was rung 75 times to herald the beginning of Zion United Church of Christ‘s annivers- ary services. The Reverend Horace S. Sills led the morning Med- itation on Sunday, May 25th.On Sunday, June 1,the annual Childrens Day will be held. Mr. Ruel F. Dubs, a former teacher in the Marietta High School will bring the message on Sunday, June 8, On Sunday, June 22, Homecoming Day, the Reverend Richard Sol- berg, pastor of the cong- regation from 1962 to 1965, will speak. Rev. Solberg is currently serving Davids UCC, Millersburg, Pa. Members of the United Church of Christ, formerly known as the Reformed Church, shared Zion Church, also on Waterford Ave., Marietta, as a meet- ing place prior to 1900 when the new structure was begun. The Reformed faith had a number of families banded together as far back as 1812. Through the years, however, enthusiasm wan- ed, and the Zion‘s Congre- gation ceased to exist. In August, 1875S, when the Reverend A. B. Shenkle, then supplying the Maytown congregation began to preach in Marietta 4 Re- formed interest was revived, and in 1878 the congre- gation was reorganized with some forty families as members. An effort to unite the Maytown and Marietta churches was made several times over the years, but except for a brief interval each congregation has re- mained independent. With the late Reverend William Yenser the Marietta congre- gation acquired its own pastor. During the pastorate of Reverend M. Louchs, D.D, who succeeded Rev. Yenser, the late Mr. Frank Kiestand paid for and donated to Zion‘s the historic and highly prized bell which for so many years called the people to worship in the “‘old church”. It was hung in the belfry and dedicated April 15, 1911, with the town ministers taking part in the service. A pipe organ was built to attain the greatest possible tonal variety within the space and was dedicated in 1914. The project was initiated by the members of the choir, and the last half of the cost was underwritten by the Andrew Carnegie Corp. The Reverend Wilbur Moyer served the church during the first World War. He officiated during the flu epidemic when additions were contributed to the church as memorials. The Reverend Noah Fravel fol- lowed the Rev. Moyer, succeeded by the Reverend Victor Steinberg. During Steinberg‘s pastorate the first daily vacation Bible School was held in Marietta, and the church was redec- orated in 1927, The Reverend James Musser was called to Zion's followed by Reverend Arth- ur Knoebel. In 1937 the in Marietta celebrates 75th year Rev. Alfred Creager filled the pulpit and was followed by Rev. William Banks, Rev. Harold Hess, Rev. Robert Bready, Rev. Robert Mays, Rev. Richard Whitney, Rev. Francis X. Pirazzini, and Rev. Guy Bready followed in success- ion as supply ministers. A social hall was construc- ted. The National Reform- ed Church became the Evangelical and Reformed Church and more recently the United Church of Christ. In 1959, with the Rev. Charles Wentling as pastor, Zion's was released from the union with Maytown making it a separate congre- gation. In 1961 the church struct- ure and parsonage were refinished with plaster- brick. In 1962 Rev. Charles Solberg was install- ed as pastor followed by the Reverend David Focht in 1965 and by Rev. Linn Finger, in 1966. The current pastor, the Rev. Calvin Rex became the minister in 1968 - The church endured the flood waters of Agnes and has made necessary reno- vations over the years. The congregation has contrib- uted memorials and funds to enhance the growth both spiritually and physically.
