Advent Window Challenge 2020 - GK Church
Following the success of our Challenge in 2018 and 2019, we are doing it all again. Thank you for getting involved. We are hoping that this will become a Goudhurst tradition for many years to come where windows in homes, schools and businesses around the area will come alive with 24 unique offerings in the lead up to Christmas.
Shops, homes, schools and pubs use their imagination and artistry to produce the living Advent Calendar. A newly decorated window will be revealed, or “opened”, on each day of Advent (1st to 24th December) in different parts of Goudhurst, Kilndown, Curtisden Green and Colliers Green. A variety of media will be used, including paper art, models, light installations and paintings.
Children will be actively encouraged to hunt for the windows and to prove that they’ve found it. The more windows they find, the more likely they are to receive a prize at the end of advent. We are hoping to add a bit of good cheer (covid restrictions allowing) along the way.
This year, we will be producing a map for you to find all the windows more easily. Therefore, we need to make sure we have all the volunteers in place ahead of schedule.
Here are some guidelines to get you started:
· Design your window so that it is clear which number you are displaying
· Make sure the window is as festive as possible. The more colour the better.
Google images and Pinterest have several ideas to get you started. Follow this link.
· Use our facebook page or Instagram to interact with the rest of the posts @gkchurch using the #comfortandjoy
· Keep an eye out for people taking photos and interact with them where possible.
· Please keep your windows on display until Saturday 4th Jan as people will still be out looking for them (even after the competition is closed) throughout the month.
If you would like to be part of this Christmas tradition and host an advent window, please get in contact with caroline.turvey@gkchurch.org.uk as soon as possible.
