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 Remembrance Sunday and the Service of Holy Communion, at 9 am, includes an Act of Remembrance in which we recall and honour those in our two villages who gave their lives for King and Country in the two World Wars. A display of knitted poppies has been installed outside the Church.  Please note the revised time of the Service, we hope that you will be able to join us.

In the Gospel reading, St Mark records Jesus travelling to Lake Galilee and preaching to the people the good news about God’s kingdom.  As He walked along the shore, He met Simon and Andrew casting their nets into the lake and asked them to follow Him.   They immediately left their nets and walked with Him.   A little further along the shore they met James and John, who were mending their nets.   They, too, heeded Jesus’ call and joined Him.  They all believed in the good news that Jesus was preaching, and left their jobs to be with Him and to support Him in His work.  The gospel of the good news of God’s kingdom is the very foundation of the Christian faith and has sustained all those who believe in the teachings of Jesus down the ages.

The Bible readings are for the Third Sunday before Advent and are – Jonah 3: verses 1 to 5 and verse10, Hebrews 9: verses 24 to the end and Mark 1: verses 14 to 20.   The appointed psalm is 62, verses 5 to the end – My soul truly waiteth still upon God – the psalmist places his trust in the mercy ofl God.

On Thursday there will be a Service of Holy Communion at 10 am.
