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 Trinity Sunday, when Christians celebrate the doctrine of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Trinity is also the longest season of the Anglican liturgical year and continues through to Advent in November. There will be a Service of Holy Communion at 9.30 am at St Augustine’s, you are most welcome to join us.
In the Gospel reading, St John records Jesus explaining to His disciples that He was going to leave this world and return to God, His Father. They showed their sadness, but He reassured them that the Holy Spirit would reveal to them the true nature of God. The Holy Spirit would glorify Jesus as the Son of God and would reveal to them the true meaning of all that He had said during His time on Earth. Thus, with the knowledge vested in them by the power of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were able to set in motion the spread of the Gospel throughout the world, leading to the development of the Christian faith, which continues to sustain all those who believe in Him.
The Bible readings are – Proverbs 8: verses 1 to 4 and 22 to 31, Romans 5: verses 1 to 5 and John 16: verses 12 to 15. The psalm is 8 – O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world; the writer of the psalm praises God for His greatness.
On Thursday we celebrate Corpus Christi, the Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy Communion.
