Last year, Pea Ridge Baptist Church in Mill Spring hosted a successful first bow shoot in which all proceeds were donated to help fund an Alaska mission trip for 15 church members.

 

On August 29, Pea Ridge will host its second annual bow shoot. All proceeds will go to help fund another Alaska mission trip for 10 church members. During March of 2016, the group of 10 will head to Nome, Alaska to serve with Alaska Missions. Alaska Missions’ objective during this time of the year is to serve the Iditarod dog sled race. From set up to clean up, Alaska Missions is completely involved. Through serving, an intentional attempt is made to share the love of Jesus Christ. Pea Ridge’s group will also help out at a basketball tournament, serve at a women’s shelter, and go door to door delivering Bibles in a bucket (an Alaska Missions outreach event).

 

Bow shoot registration will begin at 8 a.m., and the shooting will last from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The 20 target bow shoot will cost $10. A tough man shot will also be offered for $5, and the winner will take half of the pull. Prizes will be offered for first, second, and third place. Coffee will be available in the morning for participants for a small donation of $1. For lunch, hot dogs, chips, drinks and cookies will be served for reasonable prices as well.

 

Come out for this great event to enjoy some bow shooting, and most importantly to help out missions. If you have any questions, please contact Nicolette Lathan at 704-488-7526 or Jamie Kilgore at 828-817-0994.

 

Donations may be made payable to Pea Ridge Baptist Church, 8732 Highway 108 East, Mill Spring, N.C. 28756. In the memo please write “Alaska Missions.”
