💙 Blue Christmas – A Service of Light and Hope
📅 21st December • 🕯️ 7pm • 📍 St Anne’s Church, Catterick Village

Christmas is a beautiful time of year — but for many, it can also be a tender one.
If you’re carrying the ache of losing someone you love, walking through illness, feeling overwhelmed, or simply finding it hard to celebrate Christmas in the way you used to, you are warmly invited to our Blue Christmas Service.

This gentle, reflective service offers a quiet space to breathe, to remember, and to rest in the light and hope of Christ.
In the midst of darkness, His light still shines. 🕯️

We’ll gather with candles, prayers, and peaceful music — creating room for honesty, comfort, and the assurance that you’re not alone.

A place to pause.
A place to heal.
A place to find the light of Christ again.

Everyone is welcome.
Come as you are, and let hope meet you.

A little bit of history....

There is documentary evidence of a church at Catterick from the 7th Century, and further evidence of a Saxon church having been built on the current site. The present doorway dates from 1150 & the church is referred to in the Doomsday Book. Catterick was an important Christian centre & had 2 priests in the 11th Century. The current church was built using the old stones in 1415 by Richard of Crakehall. 1343 is given for the first recorded incumbent. The Furster & Andrew organ was installed in 1872, being rebuilt in 1989.
