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 before Advent and there will be a Service of Holy Communion at St Augustine’s at 9.30 a.m. We hope that you will be able to join us.
In the Gospel reading, St Luke records Jesus speaking to the disciples about the eventual destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. They were very concerned to hear this and asked when it would happen. Jesus replied that they should not trust false messiahs, who would forecast the end of the world, but should be aware that bad events, such as wars, would happen throughout history. He said that the disciples could be persecuted and imprisoned for their beliefs but, nevertheless, He would give them the means to continue to spread the good news of the Gospel and would protect them. Jesus said to them that they should remain loyal to Him and thus achieve eternal life. This belief in the goodness and love of God, and of His son Jesus, has been the driving force which has sustained the followers of the Christian faith down the centuries to this day.
The Bible readings are – Malachi 4: verses 1 to 2a and 15 to 18, 2 Thessalonians 3: verses 6 to 13 and Luke 21: verses 5 to 19. The appointed psalm is 98 – O sing unto the Lord a new song – the psalmist records the saints praising God for His greatness. .
