The next meeting of the school board will be held on Monday, February 8, at 6:30pm in the North Penn auditorium.

Grace Community of Blossburg has announced some program changes for February. The Sunday service will be moving to 6:30pm. The 7:00pm Friday evening event, formerly called "The ALTERNATIVE," will become "The Refuge". "TruthSeekers" still meets at 7:00pm on Tuesday. Truthseekers is a Bible study designed to explore beyond the modern trends that are being hyped in the media and the traditions which often have pagan roots. Through Truthseekers, we seek to answer questions about the Bible's true level of authority and discover what Scripture actually does say about... everything. This event is open to members of all churches, members of no church, believers and unbelievers alike. For more information contact Steve 638-3021 or sandel@epix.net.
