Shalom b’Harim שָׁלוֹם בֶּהָרִים – Peace in the Mountains – hosted a wonderful service for the North Georgia faith community on November 22. The congregation included more than 25 guests from Grace Episcopal Church, St. Michael’s Catholic Church, St. John Paul II Catholic Mission and others, along with Brenau University Chaplain Rev. Andrea Corso Johnson. What’s more, the response to our monthly appeal for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank was exceptional: 78 pounds of food and $80 was collected. Thank you, one and all!
