PUMPKIN PATCH UPDATE  
THIS SUNDAY  •  October 13th  •  12:30 PM  •  Front Parking Lot 
Our Pumpkin Patch has been a great success so far! Not only have we doubled our sales from last year, we also have made some great connections with our community. Our second truckload of pumpkins will be here THIS SUNDAY (October 13th) and we would love your help in unloading all of these pumpkins. We had a great crowd the first time and we know that this second load will be unloaded in no time with all of your help. To help, simply show up at 12:30 pm on the front lawn of the church facing Walnut Creek. Pumpkin unloading is fun for the whole family! We have opportunities for all ages and abilities to help us set up The Patch.  For more information, email us at students@fmcm.org or visit our website here.

This event is open to everybody, so invite all of your neighbors and friends to come and join in the fun! 
Here is How You Can Help:
Save A Spot: Last year we had thousands of people from our congregation and community on our campus for this fun event. This year we want to invite you to gather your family, friends, small group, class, and teams and save some spots in our parking lot to host some fall fun! You can set up and decorate trunks, use lawn chairs and card tables, host a game, and so much more. Awards will be given out to those who show the most fall fun! We can’t wait to see how creative everybody can be. The more saved spaces, the more fun for our congregation and community. To save a spot, fill out this quick form.
Donate Candy: we would love for you to donate some candy/treats. Bring a bag or two to our church atrium before the big day. You can also visit our Amazon Wishlist and purchase an item or two from there that can be used during the event. 
Setup or Clean Up: Be part of our setup or clean-up crew! Email info@fmcm.org if you are interested.
