WELCOME
to the Benefice of Flitton, Pulloxhill and Silsoe
in Central Bedfordshire - part of the Diocese of St Albans.
Our historic churches are situated in the heart of their communities, and we seek to be a living heartbeat of faith here. We follow Jesus and we want to share the good news of his love with all.
If you live in Flitton, Greenfield, Pulloxhill, Silsoe, Wardhedges and the surrounding areas, we are your local church, and we are here for you. We also extend a warm welcome to visitors from further afield.
We provide regular services of worship and prayer, and we offer opportunities to learn about and practice the Christian faith. We welcome people of all ages and from all walks of life.
Our local schools are very important to us and we are blessed to work closely with the teachers, staff and children.
The website is packed full of useful information from Sunday Services, activities and events, and helpful advice for those seeking baptisms, weddings and funerals.
Whether you are new or a regular member of the churches or community, we are glad that you are here, and we hope that you find what you are looking for.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance.

SPOTLIGHT
Dear Friends
This Sunday marks a number of new beginnings. We have our first All Together Worship service at Flitton and Olivia our curate has moved into the Benefice (she will be ordained next Sunday). It is exciting when we welcome new people and events in our lives. We look forward to all that will come from having our new member of the Ministry Team and having new forms of ministry to connect more widely with our community. This is simply wonderful.
Although change is in the air, we are called to live faithfully and with the gift of each day to follow Jesus. Our Holy Habit this week is serving, something that transcends a good restaurant experience to a lifestyle that looks to the needs of others, before ourselves. Simply remember when the actions of others made you feel very loved and blessed and do this for those in need. The act may be costly and time consuming but in caring for the needs of our community and world we honour God and serve him. Our verse of the week highlights this.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Matthew 25:40
The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
The common shared vision of the Benefice is
“Living Our Faith, Loving Our Communities”
and this supported by a set of values across all three churches:
Christ centred Prayerful Worshipful Hospitable Community focused United
Each of the three Churches has their own specific opportunities and challenges but by working together and offering an appropriate range of worship options, the Benefice is able to deliver its vision and values and meet the needs of its congregations.
