Knitted Knockers are special hand-
made breast prosthesis for women
who have undergone mastectomies
or other procedures to the breast.
Traditional breast prosthetics are
usually expensive, heavy, sweaty,
and uncomfortable.
They typically require special
bras or camisoles with pockets and
can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers on the other hand are
soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the
shape and feel of a real breast. Knitted knockers are free.
If you or someone you know would like to request
a pair please contact Lois Mattson or Barbara Dooley.

The Giving Tree 2021 (online)
The PCC Board of Christian Action invites you to participate in this year’s Giving
Tree! Instead of tags on a tree in Fellowship Hall, we will once again choose a
‘tag’ online!

From the Memorial Garden Board
We would like to thank Joyce Buckley for all her donations and work on the
Memorial Garden Board. Joyce is resigning and we want her to know how much
we appreciate all that she has done. She planted the beautiful Verbena in front
of the signboard, took care of the garden on the West Main Street side and do-
nated the birdbath there, and was in our rotation schedule of caring for the Me-
morial Garden. She also planted the gladiolas on the Church Street side.
Thank you, Joyce! God bless you!!
Katy Hanlon, Liz Douglas, Tony Edge, and Wendy Fortin
If anyone would like to join the Memorial Garden
Board, please contact
Tony Edge at 203-915-9386
or
Liz Douglas at 860-628-1497
Knitting Ministry
Fall Breezes and Falling Leaves … Time to capture the
colors of Autumn, put away your cottons and linens, and
indulge in the warmth of alpaca, merino wool, combined
with a hint of silk. Make a pair of mittens, hat, scarf,
poncho, or a blanket for you or someone special.
New patterns are available.
A reminder to our knitters and crocheters we are continuing to make the shawls and
lap blankets for the CT VA Fisher House in West Haven. Need information on patterns and
size just contact Barbara Dooley. Shawls and blankets must be completed by December 3,
2021. Please clean and complete the labels before presenting the item to Barbara Dooley or
Diane Larivee.
Our Tree of Warmth is right around the corner. We will be collecting hats, mittens, and
scarfs for those in need. Need a pattern, or want to try a new stitch just contact Barbara.
In November our thoughts turn to the bountiful gifts before us. I am grateful to be
part of our wonderful Knitting Ministry at Plantsville Congregational Church of Christ
where our knitting needles, crochet hooks, and bountiful fibers become gifts of comfort
and warmth for so many in our church and our state.
Thank you for all you do to make a difference in the lives of others.

Fisher House Ministry
The CA Board needs your help with a new ministry. We
are looking for individuals who would be willing to donate
toiletry items to add to Welcome Care Baskets. These care
baskets will be going to the Fisher House in West Haven,
CT and will be donated in mid-December. This is a com-
bined mission that also includes lap blankets and/or prayer shawls created by our Knitting
Ministry! Fisher Houses are owned and operated by the Department of Defense or Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs in association with the attached hospital. The VA Connecticut Fisher
House is “a home away from home” for families of veterans and service members receiving
care at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System. The Fisher House enables families to be close
to their loved ones during hospitalization, by providing comfortable lodging in a beautiful and
relaxing setting, only steps away from the medical center. There is never a charge for families
to stay at the Fisher Center. The West Haven Fisher House has 16 suites and opened in May
2018. It provides for New England veterans and service members.
The baskets will contain essential care items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, and more. At
this time the CA Board would like your help in filling these care baskets with the suggested
toiletry items listed below. If you would like to support our veterans and service members and
their families, please help us fill these baskets. Collection boxes will be made available on Sun-
day, October 24th for your donations, monetary donations will also be accepted. The collec-
tion will end on Friday, December 3rd.

The Deacons are looking for some
helping hands
The Board of Deacons is looking for a few people who are willing to lend
a hand when we are called upon to help out during receptions held in Fellowship
Hall. Most of these receptions are held following funerals and help is needed to
set up and take down tables and chairs, serving food, and sometimes coordinat-
ing food as it arrives from caterers or friends.
If you are interested in helping us with
this important hospitality mission…
