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 Sixth Sunday of Easter. There will not be a Service at St Augustine’s; we will join the congregation at Ingelby Greenhow for a Service of Holy Communion at 9.30 a.m. We hope that you will be able to be there.
In the Gospel reading, St John records Jesus speaking to His disciples and making it clear to them that, if they loved Him, they should obey His commands and that God would send the Holy Spirit to help them to preach the truth to all. He prophesied His Ascension into Heaven, saying that He would be leaving them; on that day, the disciples would understand that He would be with His Father in Heaven. They would know that all who believed in Him would be loved by Him, and that He would be with them in spirit to support them as they preached the word of God. Followers of the Christian faith know that, as they try to live a decent and honourable life, through the love of God, and of His Son Jesus, they may be granted mercy and protection, and may achieve salvation and eternal life.
The Bible readings are – Acts 17: verses 22 to 31,1 Peter 3: verse 13 to the end and John 14: verses 15 to 21. The appointed psalm is 66, verse 7 to the end – O be joyful in God, all ye lands – the psalmist praises God for his greatness, for his mercy and for the protection of all people.
On Thursday, Ascension Day, there will be a Service of Holy Communion at 10 a.m. On Friday we celebrate the Apostle Saint Matthias.
