Our garden has been a source of great enjoyment. Everything is starting to grow and we have already enjoyed the fruits of our labors. Radishes, collards, lettuce, green beans, snap peas and cucumbers are alreay being harvested. All the various herbs are thriving and most everything else is blooming.

We attached three rough boards that say: Welcome to Isaiah House Garden,...

Tonight Isaiah House held its first weekly CA (Cocaine Anonymous) Meeting. It is affectionately named, ‘The Last Straw’ Group. There were about 20 people in attendance. It was a great meeting and the first CA group in this county. We look forward to seeing it grow.
