from The Contact 10-2-24

Across the conference, churches are gearing up for fall fun, offering pumpkins for sale, along with fun family opportunities. We’ve found a few:
Good Shepherd UMC in Yukon has a daily pumpkin patch with pumpkins of all sizes for sale, along with free activities including hay rides, corn hole, photo opportunities, and more. This patch is a fundraiser for outreach ministry.
St. Matthew UMC’s pumpkin patch raises money to give out community grants in the Mid-Del community. Spencer UMC helped unload the truck and set up the patch.
Southern Hills UMC in Oklahoma City’s pumpkin patch is a youth fundraiser.
Highland Park UMC in Stillwater is partnering with the Lions Club to sell pumpkins, gourds, and straw bales daily. Admission and activities are free.
Throughout the month of October, this pumpkin patch will also host bake sales, carriage rides, handson activities for children, music, a carnival, and even goats!
Christ United Methodist Church in Enid took delivery of about 45,000 pounds of pumpkins - and with lots of help, the church’s pumpkin patch is up and running, ready to go.
