Occasionally you find a Restoration Movement in the News… at least on google. Here is one from Missouri.

Missouri Valley’s Church of Christ is celebrating its 125th anniversary, Sunday, May 4. Anyone interested is invited to attend any part of the events scheduled for that Sunday.
Here is the schedule:

10 to 11:20 a.m. - 1883 style worship service and children’s rally.

12 Noon to 1:30 - fellowship; browse the history display and commemorative quilt; take old time family photo (in period pieces the church will provide) and have it emailed for free; “moon bounces” for the kids and face painting.

1:30 to 3 p.m. - modern worship service (with the church praise band) and children’s “mad scientist” event.

3 to 3:30 p.m. - ice cream social.

Those wishing to dress in clothing from the 1880s may join many of the church members in doing so.

The Church of Christ began in 1883 with a group of 47 charter members who met in the Boyer Valley school house. The first minister, James Conron, was secured to begin the pastorate of this new Christian Church.

As a part of the restoration movement of the 1800s, the Church of Christ was a part of the original community church movement which sought to unite all believers on the Bible only and not on the creeds and doctrines of men.

The church grew quickly, spending brief stints in the Frazier schoolhouse, the fire hall and the Baptist Church, until the original church building was erected on the corner of Fourth and East Superior streets in 1888.
