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.
The service on Sunday, 18th January 2025 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St. Augustine’s.
The readings for the Second Sunday of Epiphany are: Isaiah 49:1-7; Psalm 40:1-10; 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; John 1:29-42.
In today’s Gospel reading, two related sets of people recognise Jesus for who he is. First, John the Baptist declares that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. John saw the Holy Spirit descend on Jesus and so knows who Jesus is. He testifies to Jesus, proclaiming him and telling others. Secondly, some of John’s followers, hearing John again proclaim Jesus, follow him, and remain with him. Again, they do not keep the discovery of Jesus and his identity to themselves. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, goes and finds him, and announces to Peter that they have found the Messiah, the Christ. Andrew brings Simon Peter to Jesus, and Peter’s ministry begins.
How willing are we to testify in public to Jesus, and to bring others to him?
