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 14th September 2025 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St Andrew’s Ingleby Greenhow.
The readings for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity are Exodus 32: 7-14; Psalm 51: 1-11; 1 Timothy 1: 12-17; Luke 15: 1-10.
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus is accused of eating with outsiders, rather than the respectable and law abiding. His response is two parables. In both, someone loses something of great value to them, and sets out to search extensively for them until they are found. Both shepherd and housewife search until the item is found. There is no sense of giving up here. Both find the object of their search and retrieve it with joy and celebration, for the lost has been found. The parable indicates that God moves to reach out to the lost, the sinners, and he will search for us until he finds us. There is joy in heaven if one of those who is found turns to God and repents. Has God found us through Jesus Christ, and, if so, have we turned to him?
