Pumpkin Patch Kids

By Marcy Stenstrom

    What’s round and orange, fuzzy, funny, feathery, glittery, scary, and goofy? If you guessed Father Janusz dressed for the circus, you’re creative but wrong. It was the fashion of free pumpkins that kids picked out and decorated after the 9:00 am and 10:30 am Masses this past Sunday. Parishioner Lisa Krause donated the pumpkins and the decorating fun was organized by Amy and Steve Martin as a Youth and Family    Ministries event. The tables inside the gym were full of families using supplies like  glitter glue, feathers, foam shapes, stickers, papers, markers, and fuzzy craft items to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces.    Little hands were covered with glitter and glue but everyone agreed that the first ever St. Therese Pumpkin Patch was tons of fun. Thank you to all who supplied and organized and those who participated. We look forward to more family fun pumpkin decorating from Youth and Family Ministries next year!
