The Hixson Super Bi-Lo, along with Bethel staff and volunteers from the community and joined by efforts of the Rivermont Bi-Lo Store, raised $14,148 for the children at Bethel Bible Village.  Scores of volunteers from local churches pitched in to help with this six-week long fund drive back in April, May and June of this year. These churches included Abba's House, Hixson United Methodist, Burks United Methodist and Stuart Heights Baptist.  Bi-Lo and Bethel would welcome other churches and interested persons to join in this effort to be held again in April, May and June of 2009.  For more details, contact Ron Thomas at Bethel Bible Village 842-5757 Ext. 223.
