CENTERSHOT MINISTRY is an archery based program for children aged 7-17. St. John Lutheran in Townsend will be sponsoring this event from January 13 to March 3 on Mondays from 4:30 to 6:00.
We will learn proper and safe archery techniques and then do some actual shooting at targets. Each event will also provide us time to study the Scriptures and have some great discussions.
Centershot is an excellent activity for boys and girls, non-athletes and athletes, those who are members at St. John and those who have never been in church. All are welcome.
The program will run for eight weeks. Each session is $10 or $50 for the whole session. Parents are welcome to observe, but trained Basic Archery Instructors will run the sessions.
Contact the church to register your son or daughter: 715-276-7214. You can also email: sjoffice@granitewave.com
