Pumpkins With a Purpose 

 

Every fall, First Parish hosts the "Pumpkins With a Purpose" pumpkin patch, where the community is invited to purchase beautiful pumpkins and gourds.  The Patch, staffed by volunteers, runs from mid-October through Halloween and provides a wonderful gathering place for friends and families while they search for that perfect pumpkin.

Why "Pumpkins With a Purpose"?  Because our pumpkins have a mission!  All proceeds from their sale benefit First Parish outreach efforts, with disbursement determined by First Parish's Ministry of Mission & Service.  Each pumpkin is not only a decorative symbol of the season, but also a way to help others.  It doesn't get any better than that!

 

The 2009 pumpkins will be delivered on Friday, Oct. 9th at 5PM.  Everyone is invited to help unload the truck.  Refreshments will be served.  The Patch will be open from Saturday, October 10th through Saturday, October 31st, 10-5:00 PM (Mon-Sat) and Noon-5:00 (Sundays).  See you then!
