See You in the Patch!
The St. Matthew's Pumpkin Patch is an annual event during the month of October each year. We offer community-wide events like pumpkin painting, as well as a wonderful array of pumpkins to welcome Fall!

From the question, "Why can't we have a Pumpkin Patch like other towns?" spoken in a bible study in 2004, we have witnessed the planting of seeds of faith that turn a barren hill into a Pumpkin Patch. The joyfulness and vision of the Patch remains while from year to year, as we strive to refresh the Patch with activities for all, always aware of the bountiful blessings from God. Indeed, St. Matthew's Episcopal Church has becomes the little church on the hill with "The Best Pumpkin Patch" ever each October.
Blessing of the Animals
Annual celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi offers a public expression of the special bond we have with the animals in our lives and reinforces our kinship with all creatures great and small.

Fall presents a great time for you to come and visit the Patch and take advantage of our props and photo opportunities that have been setup for you to create family memories.
