Welcome to the website of St Augustine’s – the Church of England in Kirkby-in-Cleveland and Great Broughton.  The inhabitants of our two villages have professed their Christian faith, and have worshipped on this site, for over a thousand years and we continue this wonderful tradition.

We are part of a four-church benefice, which includes the Parishes of Ingleby Greenhow, Kildale and Chop Gate, in the Diocese of York.

You will find information on the team, on the services in our church and on our support for all in the community at the key points in their lives, by scrolling through the following pages.  The calendar of services and the notice pages, which are regularly up-dated, are a good first point of reference.

Tomorrow is Bible Sunday, the last Sunday after Trinity. There will not be a Service at St Augustine’s; instead, the monthly Benefice Service of Holy Communion will take place at St Hilda’s, Bilsdale, at 10 a.m.  The Rev Ian Robinson will speak about the St Aelred’s pilgrimage; we hope that you can join us.  

In the Gospel reading, St John records Jesus speaking to the leaders of the Jews in Jerusalem, and explaining to them that He had been sent by God to preach His word and to perform miracles.  But these leaders did not accept that He was the son of God, preferring instead to follow the rules and customs of their religion and to obey the law that God had given to Moses.  Jesus told them that, despite this, it was clear that they did not believe the word of Moses, who had prophesied the coming of the Messiah, and therefore did not accept that our Lord was preaching the word of God.   Jesus was making it very clear that only those who demonstrated their belief in God, and who, as a result, lived their lives according to His word, could achieve life eternal, and this has sustained the followers of the Christian faith down the ages to the present day.

The Bible readings are – Isaiah 55: verses 1 to 11, 2Timothy 3: verse 14 to 4: verse 5 and John 5: verses 36 to the end.   The appointed psalm is 19, verse 7 to the end – The heavens declare the glory of God – the psalmist praises God for His                                                                                                                    wisdom and greatness.

On Thursday, we celebrate the Apostles Simon and Jude.
