Messiah Lutheran Church recently issued the following announcement.
Join us for our ninth annual golf outing! On September 13, 2021, we will return to Coatesville Country Club and all proceeds will benefit the Lord’s Pantry as well as various Downingtown local businesses who have supported this outing in the past.
The Lord’s Pantry of Downingtown has been in operation for over 50 years and is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3). Since its inception, the Lord’s Pantry has been, and remains 100% volunteer. They currently serve 700 registered families a six to seven day supply of food that includes non-perishables, meat selections, fresh vegetables and dairy products.
Over all eight outings we have raised over $38600 for the pantry and our goal is to add to our donation this year!
Downingtown Local Businesses
The Messiah Golf Outing has been supported by the surrounding local businesses since the first event. This year we have decided to not solicit sponsorships or donations from the small businesses and restaurants due to the burden placed on them from the COVID19 pandemic. Instead we intend to return the goodwill they have shown to us by taking a portion of sponsorship, donations, and player fees, purchasing gift cards and raffling them off at the outing and at the church services in support of the Pantry.
Join the Fun!
We have lots of fun things planned including:
- Opportunity to purchase up to 4 mulligans ($5 each)
- Prize raffles (5 tickets for $10, 15 for $20)
- Putting contest with 50/50 jackpot
- Awards for top team, individual long drive, and closest to the pin
- A light breakfast, full lunch, & refreshments at select holes
Shotgun start: 9:00 AM
You don’t have to be a great golfer to have a great day! We’ll use a scramble format in teams of 4 where all players tee off, the best ball is selected, and all players hit from that location. The format continues until hole out.
Sponsorship Opportunities & Cash Donations
If you’re not a golfer, but you want to help, consider one of our sponsor packages for yourself or your business. We also welcome your raffle donation of services or merchandise from the Downingtown local businesses.

Straight cash donations in any amount are also welcome! You can make a credit card donation through our Online Giving page. Church members are welcome to put their cash donations in the church service offering plate marking it for “Golf Outing”.
