CHRISTMAS WINDOWS
Buchlyvie and Gartmore Parish Churches have organised Christmas Windows. Similar to Advent Windows in other areas but as this is the first year we didn’t want to keep people waiting before they could light their window. Instead we just want to create festive windows from December 1 to January 6 for everyone to enjoy. Any theme is allowed but suggestions are Love, Hope, Peace, Joy and Sharing. The only criteria is that your window must include a star. To register your window or to receive a copy of the map which includes all the registered windows please contact Lynsey Thomson on 01360 850078 or email W33LGT@ googlemail.com
