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 9th February is at 9:30 AM at St Andrew’s, Ingleby Greenhow.
The readings for the fourth Sunday before Lent are: Isaiah 6: 1-13; Psalm 138; 1 Corinthians 15: 1-11; Luke 5: 1-11.
In today’s Gospel reading, the focus is on Simon Peter, a fisherman. Jesus gets into his boat to teach the people and then tells Peter to go and catch fish. Peter objects that they fished all night with no result, but obeys. The nets were filled to breaking point with fish, and both Peter’s boat and that of his colleagues were in danger of being swamped. Peter has a moment of disclosure. He recognises Jesus for who he is. Peter might not have understood everything about Jesus, and he certainly got things wrong after he started to follow him, but he had that moment of insight and understanding, and acted upon it.
While most of us are not fishermen, we can all have these moments of disclosure. Peter recognised and worshipped Jesus as Lord. How do we respond?
On Thursday there will be a Service of Holy Communion at 10 am.
