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 the Second Sunday of Epiphany; there will be a Service of Holy Communion at St Augustine’s at 9.30 am and we hope that you will be able to join us.

In the Gospel reading, St John records Jesus, His mother Mary and His disciples being invited to a wedding at Cana in Galilee.  After the ceremony, the guests were invited by the bride and bridegroom to a party, but all the wine was drunk before the party finished.  Mary asked Jesus if He could obtain some more wine.  He asked the servants to fill 6 large ceremonial stone pots with water, then to draw some and take it to the manager of the party.  They obeyed this apparently strange request; the manager tasted the water, which had miraculously been turned into wine, and pronounced it to be better than the wine drunk earlier during the day.  This was the first of many miracles performed by Jesus; the disciples knew this and they believed in Him.  Throughout His short life, Jesus performed countless good and great acts; as a result, many more people believed in and followed Him, leading to the Christian faith taking root and being actively embraced by countless millions across the world to this day.

The Bible readings are – Isaiah 62: verses 1 to 5, 1 Corinthians 12: verses 1 to 11 and John 2: verses 1 to 11.   The appointed psalm is 36, verses 5 to 10 – My heart sheweth me the wickedness of the ungodly; the writer of the psalm praises God for His goodness and for His mercy to all people.

On Saturday we celebrate the Conversion of St Paul.
