🌺 Remembrance Sunday – St Anne’s Church, Catterick Village 🌺

A little reminder that, due to our Remembrance Sunday commemorations, our usual Sunday Communion service will take place at the earlier time of 9:00am.

This will be a quiet, spoken Eucharist, offering a moment of prayer and reflection as we prepare to come together as a village to remember those who gave so much.

🙏 All are warmly welcome to join us.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

We will remember them. 🌺

🌺 **Remembrance Sunday – We Will Remember Them** 🌺

This Sunday, 8th November, we come together as a village to remember those who gave their lives in service to others, those who returned home forever changed, and all those affected by the cost of war.

🕊️ **Our Remembrance Sunday Service**
📅 Sunday 8th November 2026
🕥 10.15am
📍 St Anne’s Church, Catterick Village

Following the church service, we will gather at the **War memorial on Low Green** for our community Act of Remembrance.

Remembrance is a time to pause, reflect, give thanks and pray for peace in a world that still needs it so desperately.

Whether you attend church regularly, occasionally, or have never stepped through our doors before, **you are warmly welcome to join us.**

Let us come together as neighbours, as a village, and as a community, united in gratitude and remembrance.

🌺 **At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.**

*We will remember them.*

🌺 **Remembrance Sunday – A Polite Request to Our Village** 🌺

As we prepare to come together for Remembrance Sunday tomorrow, we have one final request regarding parking around Low Green and the War Memorial.

At the request of North Yorkshire Police, we are asking that **all vehicles be moved from the area stretching from the white footbridge crossing the beck down to the bus shelter, preferably by 9.30am tomorrow morning**, well before the commemorations begin.

We appreciate that this is a lot to ask, especially for those who normally park there, and we really do understand the inconvenience.

Thankfully, we're only asking for the area to be kept clear for a short time, around an hour during the commemorations.

We know how many people come together each year to pay their respects, and ultimately, **we just want everyone to be able to gather safely**.

This is simply a sensible precaution, allowing us all to focus on what really matters: remembering those who gave so much for us.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and cooperation. It really is appreciated.

We look forward to seeing our village come together tomorrow.

🌺 **We will remember them.**

🐾 WHIPPET WISDOM WEDNESDAY 🐾
Strange sights and a shorter walk!

Daisy here! Halloween made for a very unusual walk. 🎃

Strange faces, pointy hats and things hanging in windows that definitely weren’t there yesterday.

I kept one ear up, just in case.

Honestly, humans are peculiar enough without dressing up.

Our walk was shorter than usual, and then Dad took us home.

He settled down with his big book,

and spent some time reading and praying.

I was mostly glad to be back in the warm.
But first, I wanted to check on Nugget and the girls.
Those chickens might have been frightened by all the strange goings-on too! 🐔

Dad says we can bring whatever worries us to God.
We don’t need fancy words or have to pretend we’re brave.

And sometimes, once we’re feeling safe ourselves,
we can help somebody else feel safe too.

A prayer. A phone call. A little check that someone’s all right.

That was my wisdom for the evening: get home, check the chickens,
then find the warmest spot near Dad.

Who could you check on this week?

Love, Daisy 🐾

A Little Remembrance Sunday Request – Please Read

Now, before anyone shoots the messenger, remember what happened to Jesus! 😂🙏

On a serious note,
Remembrance Sunday is always a very special occasion for our village.
It's a time when we come together as a community to remember,
reflect and pay our respects to those who gave so much for us.

This year, at the request of North Yorkshire Police,
we're asking that all vehicles be removed from the area around Low Green
and the Cenotaph ahead of Sunday's commemorations.

This is simply a sensible precaution in light of current security considerations, helping to make sure everyone can gather safely and respectfully.

👮 Police will be carrying out checks in the area from 7am on Sunday morning,
so we'd be very grateful if vehicles could be moved before then.

Please don't be alarmed. It's about being prepared, looking after one another and ensuring the focus remains where it belongs: on remembrance.

I did ask Daisy to go and check the area for me,
but apparently she got distracted and ended up at the café instead.
🐾☕ Not quite the security patrol I had in mind!

On behalf of everyone involved in organising the commemorations,
thank you for your understanding, patience and cooperation.

We look forward to coming together as a village on Sunday to remember.

We will remember them.🌺

Revd Peter
