On Sunday am there is scriptures read with a discussion that then  closes with the women’s prayer requests.

This entire ministry is totally volunteer. No questions are asked of the crimes or their names.  Their privacy is to be respected at all times.  Usually there are 10+ women in each session.

On Monday pm a lesson is studied with  the lady  inmates. They are  allowed to speak of anything with the honor system of confidence in which their  privacy is protected.  The volunteers  help them by calling family & friends, writing  letters, etc.  These volunteers are trying to help these ladies get back to a good place in their life:  starting with helping them learn of our Lord.

The women are allowed to have paperback books only.  They are allowed to have soft cover Bibles.  The daily needs for this ministry are ruled loose leaf paper, envelopes and stamps.

*** Any Reading Glasses and  soft cover Bibles are NEEDED, if you could donate one please see Mary Anne Cutlip***
