Plant Sale

Good day everyone!

This is Gord & Esther Van Egmond here - Al let us highjack the blog to give you an update on the plant sale we had. First of all we would like to thank our plant suppliers for working with us and giving us exceptional pricing and donations and also bringing us more product so quickly when we ran out. Also a huge thank you to those who helped us "man" the sale, we really appreciate it. But most of all thank you to all of you who took the time out of your busy long weekend to buy your plants and give donations to help out the Bethlehems. Some of you drove a long way to Grimsby to lend your support.

In just 4 days we were able to raise $8,000.00 !!! I won't try to describe Al & Debbie's faces last night but I will say they are overwhelmed with the support you have all shown to Shawna and the entire Bethlehem family. Thank you!

God Bless!

Gord & Es

Maybe if you hold another plant sale on a Saturday, more of us that couldn't make it will have a chance to help as well??...

Thats great to make all that money for the Bethlehems. I would be shocked too if I seen so much money was raised. We are all happy we could help out. God has blessed us all, so its nice to give those who need it.
God bless you all.

Esther and Gord: Thank you so much for giving us all a chance to come and buy! How blessed we all are to be a part of the communion of saints.( the family of the most High King) What would anyone of us do without His blessings on our daily lives.
We are thrilled with the success of your hard work.
