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
Sunday 26 October is Bible Sunday, an opportunity to celebrate and give thanks that we have scriptures freely available in our own language and can read and study them without persecution. God has spoken and continues to do so through the Bible and sadly we may simply cut off that channel by not spending time allowing God to speak to us through regular bible reading.
When was the last time outside of church you read or listened to scripture? People in history have died for the right to have the Bible translated into their own mother tongue and others face imprisonment and worst as a result of simply owning a Bible. 1 in 5 people don’t have a Bible in their own language even today.
So let us study, treasure and learn from scripture as in it God’s love is revealed to us and brings eternal hope.
With love and prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Luke 4:19
‘to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour’
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.
