Resurrection Center Spin-Off from Ewen Prime Company, Inc.

The following is entered into record and made public as a matter of required legal compliance and responsibilities to members of the Resurrection Center by its former parent corporation Ewen Prime Company, Inc.  (David Ewen is president of Ewen Prime Company, Inc.)   In addition to the items being shared below, all authenticating documents are made publicly available in the Public Files located at:  http://newrescentspring.webs.com/

Saturday August 31 at 10:00 - Volunteers Clean Riverfront in Springfield

Volunteers from the Resurrection Center and invited area residents want to improve the health and beauty of the city of Springfield.   Following the success of last year's cleanup, the Resurrection Center is doing more this year to gather residents making this year an even greater success.

The second annual volunteer clean up effort of the riverfront will be accomplished by removing bottles, cans, trash, and any physical pollution that can be safely removed.   Children helping will be supported by adults.

The event will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 10:00 AM and continue for a few hours. 

Volunteers will be meeting in the parking lot of the Basketball Hall of Fame next to LA Fitness along the riverfront.   After brief instructions, the march and cleanup will begin.

Summer Sizzler Moved

Summer Sizzler


Looks like the Thunderstorms predicted for the early afternoon on Saturday held off for a bit.   After a hot and humid week and the risk of being rained out, the Summer Sizzler was moved to it’s planned rain date for the following Saturday.  We will be holding our Summer Sizzler on Saturday, July 27th from 11AM to 3PM.   We are having it a little early to avoid any potential summer afternoon rain showers.   Bring the food you want to bar-b-q.  Also bring salads, pasta, etc.   In case it’s a really hot day, don’t forget to bring water or something really cool to drink.


Bar-B-Q at Summer Sizzler.


Everyone will be able to bar-b-q their own food that they bring.  It’s easy.  You can get a $3 disposable grill.   Go to www.EZgrill.com to see what I mean.   You can find them at any Big Y, Stop & Shop, or any super market.  You can also find it at Target and Walmart.

With EZ Grill you can now have great tasting grilled food without the mess and hassle of using a large grill. Avoid having to use those clunky portable grills or the unsanitary grills at a park.


Baptism Celebration


If you would like to be baptized at the Resurrection Center, Pastor Melly will be holding classes on Wednesday August 7 and 14.   Please contact her if you haven’t already if you have interest.


The Baptism is scheduled for Saturday August 17th.    If there is a risk of rain or inclement weather, then the event will be postponed to the rain date of Saturday August 24th.    Dates can change.  We’ve seen it already with the Summer Sizzler, so be ready.


Waterfront Cleanup


We are repeating a successful project from last year by cleaning up the waterfront behind the Basketball Hall of Fame.    Last year we gathered together at 10AM wearing Resurrection Center Shirts, had fun.  The project was featured on TV locally on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox.   It was also in the Republican and Reminder.


This year we will be meeting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 31st behind the Basketball Hall of Fame to clean

Get Your Shirts Early


You can order your shirts from www.ResurrectionSpringfield.org  Click the products tab.    If you don’t have internet access, you can go your local library.    If you don’t have a credit card, you can load your own Green Dot debit card.    The debit card can be  found on the Resources tab on our website.   Everyone  who wants a shirt and did not get one last year may order their own.    Plan on time for shipping.
