WHAT'S HAPPENING?

PUMPKIN PATCH POTLUCK TODAY, Sept. 15 

Your Pumpkin Patch team has been working hard for weeks to plan a bigger and better Pumpkin Patch than ever! Come join us for the Pumpkin Patch Potluck TODAY at 11 am in our beautiful Fellowship Hall. Be the first ones to hear about what's new this year. This is your opportunity to learn everything you've ever wanted to know about your Patch. Volunteer responsibilities will be explained so you will know what you are signing up for. Our neighbors look forward to the Patch, and this is our time to shine & share the love of Jesus with hundreds of visitors. And don't forget to bring a dish to share! Place settings and beverages will be provided. Thank you! 





Pumpkin Patch Decorating Date - Sunday, Sept. 29 @ 4 pm

How would you like to be able to say, "I had a hand in changing our plain, empty field into a magical Pumpkin Patch."? Here's your opportunity to do just that on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 4 pm. We have some new ideas and new decorations. Be one of the first to see a new photo prop -- a pink princess wagon transformed into the giant, orange, "Great Pumpkin." There's a little something for everyone to do, and it won't take too long with enough helping hands! Thank you, Cassie Berg & Ericka Pierce  



Sign Up to Serve in the Pumpkin Patch

Saturday, Oct 5 is our first delivery of pumpkins for the season. Our annual Pumpkin Patch will be open Oct 5 through Oct 31 or until the last pumpkin is sold!

 

We need your help to unload the pumpkins and staff the patch for the month. You can sign up for your shifts online at clearviewumc.org/pumpkins. Like last year, we are using an online-only volunteer sign-up. We will have some computers set up in the East Wing for you to use before or after worship. There will be people around who can assist you if you need some help. You can also contact the Church Office for assistance or grab a tech-savvy friend or family member.

 

The Pumpkin Patch will be open Weekdays 3-8 pm, Saturdays 9 am-8 pm, and Sundays Noon-8 pm. We need cashiers, pumpkin pricers, greeters, pumpkin turners, and food sellers. There is a place for everyone to serve, no matter your age or ability. Come hang out in the patch and share the love of God with our community!



Pumpkin Patch Craft Needs

Please save your cardboard toilet paper rolls and bring them to the East Wing for a special Pumpkin Patch Craft. Thanks for your help!
