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, 31st August 2025 will be Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St Augustine’s.
The readings for the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity are: Proverbs 25: 6-7; Psalm 112; Hebrews 13: 1-8, 15-16; Luke 14: 1, 7-14.
In today’s Gospel Jesus is at a Sabbath meal with a Pharisee. He has already healed a man with dropsy, which the Pharisees and lawyers would have deemed unlawful. Now, as the guests arrive, he tells them a parable about how the host may move them down the table if they exalt themselves, or move them up if they humble themselves. As this is a Sabbath meal, we can equate this to our own Holy Communion. How do we approach the bread and wine, humbly, or with pride that we deserve to eat at God’s table? The invitation to the Holy Communion is open, not closed. How do we welcome the stranger, those who are not like us, to our church community, to our Eucharistic Feast?
On Thursday, 4th of September, there will be Holy Communion in the church, with coffee available in the Church Hall after the service.
All Welcome!
