We are pleased to welcome you to our Advent Windows Project for 2015. This is the 6th year that Christ Church, Stone have co-ordinated a Community Advent Calendar along and around Stone High Street. 24 host locations have been found and 24 organisations have agreed to create window displays to tell the Christmas Story throughout December. At 11.00am each day from the 1st to the 24th December a window will be revealed, as we tell part of the Christmas story and sing a Christmas Carol. (See the list for all the dates and locations – a map will follow soon) Please join us any days that you can. We are looking forward to seeing all the wonderful works of art and a big thank you to everyone who is taking part.
