Are you a knitter looking for a project?
OVER THE CENTURIES, shawls have come to symbolize comfort and peace. Christ Church Deer Park has formed a Prayer Shawl Ministry, which has become an international cause in the ecumenical community. Shawls are given as a symbol of the prayers of the community to those who are sick at home, hospital or in a seniors’ residence. Hand knitted shawls have been presented to our shut-ins over the past year and we have seen how much they have been appreciated. Shawls can be simple or elaborate. They can be a diagonal shape, a large rectangular scarf or simply a smaller lap rug. For all knitters, women and men (yes, men knit too!) who would like to contribute to this initiative, please contact Norma Ross (416-929-5494). She will be pleased to provide patterns.
