Pumpkin Patch Unloading Day

Wow! What a turn out!

On Saturday we had 62 volunteers at the church helping to unload the pumpkins for our FCC Scottsdale Pumpkin Patch.

You know that saying "Many hands make light work"...well it is true! We were able to completely unload the truck and set up in the Pumpkin Patch in just over an hour!

Thank you to everyone who participated on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to staff the Pumpkin Patch this week and next week. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by and bought a pumpkin to support the outreach ministries of First Christian Church Scottsdale. Remember that all proceeds from the Pumpkin Patch go to support local outreach ministries that make a difference right in our neighborhood community.

Here are some photos (taken by my son, Henry!) from the Great Unloading of the Pumpkins.

Ode to the Pumpkin Patch

{Many thanks to Julie for this great announcement from this past Sunday's worship service. Sign up sheets are still available to help unload pumpkins on Saturday October 8 as we get everything set up for our big fall fundraiser for the Outreach Ministry at First Christian Church Scottsdale.}

Fall will soon be in the air.

Pumpkins will arrive without a care.

First Christian friends will help unload,

Hundreds of pumpkins -- white  green and gold.

Please sign up today, look for me after church.

The more the merrier, the easier the work.

Saturday morning October the eighth,

This mission outreach opportunity will really be great!

Your support is appreciated, old and young. 

The pumpkins are coming. This day will be fun!

What is Missing?

Only two things are missing from this picture. The PUMPKINS and YOU!

The Pumpkin Patch is all set up and ready to go (care of the hard working team of volunteers that showed up for Workday this past Saturday). Now we just need folks to help us unload the 1164 pumpkins that will fill up the patch!

Come join us this Saturday at 9AM to help us unload the truck. Remember, the proceeds from the Pumpkin Patch go to support our Annual Mission Trip. There couldn't be a better cause!

So come unload some pumpkins, fill up our Pumpkin Patch, and help us underwrite our Mission Work as a church!

As an added bonus we'll have a Pizza Luncheon afterward for everyone who helps out! See you this Saturday, October 9 at 9AM!
