Over a thousand people took a walk through Bethlehem from
December 2nd to December 4th at the Lake City Ball Field. More than a
hundred volunteers from nine churches throughout the Lake City area came
together to reconstruct Bethlehem like it would have looked during the time
of Jesus’ birth. The “Walk through Bethlehem” included shops, biblical
characters and live animals.
More than a thousand dollars was raised for the Jim Ed Lawson
Christmas Basket Fund, which helps provide Christmas baskets for less
fortunate families in the Lake City community.

WHAT’S THAT SMELL?
Nothing is more important to Powell-

our customers and the communities we
serve.
Because natural gas is odorless, an odor
that smells like rotten eggs is added to
help detect even the smallest leaks
should they ever occur.
If you ever smell this odor in your home,
or outside, leave the area immediately
and call us at 865-426-2822.
