The director of the Broome County Council of Churches speaks on the January 31 edition of the weekly local public affairs program, Southern Tier Close Up.

Joe Sellepack talks about the large number of projects in the community that are undertaken by members of the Council and explains how programs like building wheelchair ramps at homes align with "the God thing."

Sellepack also addresses some of the challenges facing local churches, most notably, shrinking congregations.

Southern Tier Close Up airs Saturdays at 12:10 p.m. on News Radio 1290 WNBF.
