First United Methodist Church of Owasso has hosted an Annual Pumpkin Patch for Mission since October of 2001. Our mission is to offer a safe and fun Fall Activity for families to enjoy year after year. We are a four-time winner of the Pumpkin Patch Appeal Award out of 1,300 different sites. We have been listed in TulsaKids Magazine as the number one place for children in October. Visiting our Patch has become quite an annual tradition for Owasso and the surrounding area. Each October we sell anything that is orange and round, and come November we begin planning how to give the proceeds away!
Families enjoy the activities and beauty of the Pumpkin Patch while supporting local, national and international missions! We've had visitors from towns all over Oklahoma and out of state as well. Speaking of out of state, our pumpkins are born in New Mexico and transported to Owasso in big tractor trailers. The pumpkins come from Pumpkins USA/Pumpkins Fundraising. They only provide pumpkins to non-profit organizations for fundraising sales. Check them out at www.pumpkinsusa.com or Facebook.
All of our proceeds from pumpkin sales are given away to mission. The 2015 Pumpkin proceeds allowed us to provide financial support or donated items to: Owasso Community Resources (OCR), Arubah Community Clinic, City Lights Foundation (sponsor Night Light Tulsa), Open Table Community Cafe, FUMC Owasso Food Pantry, FUMC Owasso Christmas Everyday Fund, Restore Hope Ministries, OKVIM ongoing Bolivia mission efforts, FUMC Owasso sponsored VIM Mexico Spring Break mission trip, Kansas City Urban Family Mission Trip, OKUMC sponsored Exodus House and CJAMM ministries, OCR sponsored Thanksgiving Baskets and Christmas Angel Tree gifts for CJAMM and children through OCR. Please note: This year we are collecting adult size socks, at the Patch, for Night Light Tulsa.
Pumpkins are priced based on size. In addition to the Pumpkins for sale - that come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors - our activities include: A fun maze, coloring, stickers, hay rides on Saturdays and outdoor classroom reserved for area schools ONLY (Tues, Thurs & Fris 10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.) and the most beautiful Autumn season photo opportunities. Please see our site for the event schedules.
