Centershot Ministries....Archery in Church!!

[CTBowMan]

All,

I'm am excited to be bringing this Archery based ministry to my church in Voluntown, Connecticut. My goal is to try to raise $3,200.00 to get this ministry up and running. To date I have raised about $1,500.00 so I'm about $800.00 short of my goal...it is my hope to have these funds raised by mid March, so I can order the required ministry kit, and then schedule the required certification training in April, so I can launch the program in mid May.

There are so many positives that can come of this...not only will we be able to bring more people to the sport of Archery, This isn't just for kids, but for adults as well, it can bring families together, and allow everyone to participate, and share with them the word of God.

I don't know where any of you are in your faith, and it's none of my business that is between you and God, and I'm not going to pass any judgment on anyone based on their belief or lack there-of.

If God puts it on your heart to made a donation to this ministry, please send your donation to:

Voluntown Baptist Church

52 Main St

Voluntown, CT 06351

(Any amount would be graciously appreciated!)

If paying by check, please write "Centershot" in the memo section of the check, if submitting cash, please include a note indicating "Centershot" so the donation will go to the correct place.

I have been in contact with a Church in Rhode Island that currently has a Centershot program, and we are looking forward to getting together with that church to have some friendly competition between each other. I'd really like to see more churches bring this ministry to their community!
