New virtual All Saints Restoration Branch and Link to Sunday Morning's Worship Service

Dear Brother and Sisters,

As many of you are aware, the Conference of Restoration Elders for the past couple of months has been sponsoring online Sunday morning and Wednesday evening worship services due to the shutdown of local Branches in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The opportunity to continue to worship together has been a God sent blessing for the many saints throughout the world who have participated in these services. Below are just a few examples of the many responses we have received.

- “It was truly a blessed service. I am very much looking forward to Wednesday and Sunday services in the future. Thank you!”

- “Thanks to all who put the services together. Please continue! I am thinking of other areas to send the invite.”

- “These services have truly been a blessing to us. Thank you for including us. I am so moved by everyone’s prayers.”

- “Thanks for having Wednesday night services! It was nice to be on my knees with the saints again.”

- “We haven’t been able to participate in a combined worship service for over three years because we are so remote. It has been so great to participate in these services together.”

As the final comment reflects, many who have participated are isolated, far from other restoration saints, and have no restoration branch near them. These dear saints have expressed their joy at being able to worship with others of like faith, and their desire to continue to have that opportunity. Now that many Branches have started to hold services in their places of worship again, we have reflected and discussed what might be done for those who have been participating in the services, but don’t have a place of worship near them.

In response to this need, the CRE chairman and coordinating council is excited to announce that we have decided to sponsor a virtual Restoration Branch, to be known as the All Saints Restoration Branch of Jesus Christ’s Church. This new branch will continue to hold online worship services Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings. We have asked Elder Larry Cottrill to be the presiding elder of the branch, and for now, Brian Mundy, Richard Neill and Vim Horn will function as the pastorate.

We look forward to the ministry the All Saints Restoration Branch will be able to provide to our isolated brothers and sisters for worship, classes, fellowship, and even home visits. We will share additional details concerning how the Branch will function as they are defined. If you have any thoughts or questions concerning the Branch, please email them to: allsaintsrestorationbranch@gmail.com
