The Pumpkin Patch
The Pumpkin Patch is an annual mission activity at St. John’s Lutheran Church. During the month of October, hundreds of pumpkins are sold. All the proceeds are donated. A Navajo tribe receives a portion for providing the pumpkins; all other proceeds are donated to local charities. This year we are supporting Building One Community, Kids In Crisis, and Future Five. Food sold at the food tent supports the quilters of St. John’s who make quilts for Lutheran World Relief, a world-wide quilt distribution to those in need. This mission activity is “pumpkins with a purpose!”
The Patch is back!
- 3 – 6 pm Monday through Friday
- 10 am – 6 pm Saturdays
- 10 am – 6 pm Sundays
On September 26, a semi-truck loaded with over 2,500 pumpkins arrives at St. John’s. Everyone’s help is needed to set up the Patch, unload pumpkins, and cover the tables.
We will continue to need help throughout October. If you would like to sign up for a shift during the month of October to sell pumpkins, please click here. We need many volunteers to staff the Pumpkin Patch.
You are encouraged to support “Pumpkins with the Purpose” and encourage your friends and neighbors to obtain their fall pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch of St. John’s!
