Welcome to St. Augustine's Church

St. Augustine’s Church is an attractive grade 2 listed building at the heart of Scissett. As the local Church of England Parish Church, it has been part of the community since 1838. Scissett Church of England Academy is close by and has strong links with St Augustine’s. Members of the church go into school, whilst pupils and staff come to church for various activities. We also have close links with Hillside Nursery School. We run a Charity Shop on nearby Wakefield Road, and this is a good place to pick up some bargains or dispose of unwanted items.

St. Augustine’s Church has been fully refurbished with good facilities and is available for hire. It is also a popular place for weddings. The well maintained clock on the tower is visible from Wakefield Road.

We meet regularly for worship and prayer. St. Augustine’s is a member of Churches Together in High Hoyland, Scissett and Clayton West. Together we run events throughout the year, including Holiday Club. Our vision at St Augustine’s is ‘knowing and experiencing more of God and loving and serving each other in the community.’ We aim to welcome all those who come wherever they are on their journey of faith.

Prayer

Lord God, I am not as ready to pray as you are to hear me;

I am not as honest as I could be;

I often hurry through my times of prayer.

But I am your servant, just the same,

and I want to do better in the future than I have done in the past,

and learn to love you more nearly day by day.

So help me, Lord, to make my good intentions real.

Amen

PRAYER CHAIN

There is a prayer chain for anyone to use should an urgent matter for prayer occur (e.g. an accident, or someone taken ill suddenly, or an operation to take place). If you would like us to pray for you please contact Revd Kate Currie 07949 850460
