Pumpkin Patch

The Patch returns on Saturday, October 3, 2026!

Mark your calendar now to join us on Saturday Oct. 3 to unload the truck. The more the merrier! Then come back any day in October and shop for your perfect pumpkins and seasonal decor. Your purchase helps us feed the hungry around the world through our partnership with Rise Against Hunger.

Each year we try to set a new record, and 2025 was a record breaking year! We surpassed our goal of $18,000, with a final day sales total of $950.50 to round out the month. It's going to be tough to beat last year, but we are going to do our part by having many events and welcoming as many groups and individuals as possible.

Throughout the month of October, the patch will host several signature events, including Pick & Paint, a Fall Festival, Movie Night in the Patch, Trunk or Treat, and preschool story time field trips. Each event usually draws strong turnout and creates welcoming spaces for families to gather and connect with Jonesboro First UMC.

Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Pass the word and share the links with your friends and neighbors. We love newcomers, looking to start a new tradition in their lives.
