BY GEORGE KAGAME

Grace Presbyterian Church located in West Hill is set to commemorate its 45th anniversary in May by organizing a range of activities that are already underway, a press statement form the church stated.

The church which was formed in 1964 developed a community programme from its sunday school whereby parents and school teachers would coordinate the sale and delivery of garden plants. The plants are pre-ordered by homes by filling out forms given out at the church, or downloaded on the internet, church members also volunteer to deliver the forms to homes in the West Hill and Pickering neighbourhoods. The actual sale takes place every saturday preceding Victoria Day weekend.

The church has set April 13 as the final day of deliveries of plants and the sale date is May 9th where as the church tradition dictates trucks loaded with the plants will drop off orders at the homes of church members and other customers in the areas.

Grace church members and residents in Pickering and West Hill can download plant order forms from www.garcewesthill.ca and mail their filled forms to the church or contact by email plants@gracewesthill.ca.
