Pumpkin Fest
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2016/10 - October
In an unmistakable celebration of the glories of the season, the front yard of Highlands United Methodist Church will be transformed into a magnificent pumpkin patch throughout October.
There’ll be pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and colors, including spooky pale Ghost Pumpkins. Scattered in the midst the patch are gourds and squash that are perfect for seasonal decoration schemes.
These pumpkins are for sale by the youth of the church and all funds raised will benefit Youth Mission activities. These projects include local community service missions, trips to serve the homeless, the Haiti Mission, and the Bolivian Mission trip. This year, the youth will also give a portion of their sales proceeds back to the church in support of the new Faith & Fellowship Center.
The church welcomes the arrival of the pumpkins with its Pumpkin Festival, staged from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Saturday, October 1. In addition to the pumpkins for sale, the youth will be offering lunch – Hot dog plates are $5 and bratwurst plates are $6. A drink is included in the price. Like the pumpkin sales, the lunch will fund the youths’
mission projects.
Enjoy one-stop-shopping. Pumpkin prices are super affordable, ranging from $1 to $20. Yes, you certainly can pre-order and buy in bulk. If you need several pumpkins, the HUMC Youth can definitely fulfill that need. Just call the Church Office at (828) 526-3376 or e-mail [email protected].
If you’d like to support the youth in their many mission projects, donations may be mailed to HUMC, P O Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741.
