Charity Golf Outing

This past weekend, on Saturday, August 17, Shiloh Church held its annual charity gold outing at Cassel Hills Golf Club, in Vandalia. This year marked Shiloh's ninth annual golf outing. In the first three years, the occasion was simply used as fellowship. It made no money. In 2008, however, Shiloh saw the need to tie the golf outing to a ministry need. Seeing the need to support needy families in our area through the Christmas and holiday season, Shiloh tied all proceeds to that cause. In the past six years, Shiloh has supported local families with over $25,000 of direct assistance, all raised through the church's golf outing.

In the 2012 golf outing, Shiloh raised just over $7,100. This year, Shiloh is likely to see even more available direct assistance, as the congregation anticipates that final contribution levels will eclipse that sum. At the end of the outing, dinner and auction, the church had raised $6,500. On Sunday, we heard of many additional contributions being made by members and friends of the congregation. Those contribution figures are still pending, but one may assume that the numbers will be greater than those of 2012.

Shiloh's deep appreciation goes to every person who played in the outing, those who supported it with contributions and assistance, those who donated items to the auction, and those who thought about and prayed for the success of the event. The efforts of Pastor Jay McMillen are of special note, since his hard work makes the outing both a possibility and a huge success.

Shiloh wants to recognize its sponsors. If you see these persons, or if you happen into these businesses, let them know that you appreciate their support.
