Lutheran women collect clothes

Posted

Women in God’s Services (WINGS), women’s ministry at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, donated women’s clothing to Amazing Grace Lutheran Church Women’s Prison ministry.

The women collected gently used clothing for everyday attire and interviews; shoes, purses, jewelry, makeup and toiletries. SOTH Quilters donated handcrafted quilts.

Pastor Robyn Bezanson, associate pastor at Amazing Grace Lutheran Church, started the ministry for female inmates upon their release from prison.

Last year she started transporting newly released women to a halfway house.

“Inmates are released from prison with no money and no additional clothing,” she said.

The halfway house provides only a mattress and no bedding. No food is provided, either.

Her vision is to open a Christian halfway house for women within walking distance of the Glendale church.
