Due to Coronavirus concerns, our church will not have our annual pumpkin patch.

We hope to continue this tradition and important mission in 2021.

 

This Pumpkin Patch Fundraiser is nationwide and was started about 40 years ago by a farmer in North Carolina who had pumpkins to sell and a church group who needed to raise money.  They shook hands, and agreed to work together to plant, grow, pick and ship pumpkins to other churches that also needed to raise funds.  It got to be so large, they needed more space, and the Navajo Indians of Farmington, New Mexico had lots of land, and so it grew and grew…into this very exciting mission project that we are proud to be a part of!!  One of the truck drivers who delivered to us said the trucks roll into the pumpkin fields, and that’s all you can see in any direction!   Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and more Pumpkins!  They are loaded via conveyer belts from the fields onto the trucks, and when that truck is filled, another pulls up to take its place! 

FRESH pumpkins from the fields.   Nothing is better than that!

 

We hope to see you all at 12 Commerce Street PUMPKIN PATCH again next year during the month of October!
