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
Doubt is often seen as a negative in life, it’s not something we consider too much when we sit on a chair or turn on the kettle, they can be trusted. But when it comes to Easter poor old Thomas will never be able to disentangled himself from the label of a doubter. He needed to see that Jesus was really alive and that the scars of the cross meant it was all true. Jesus had risen from the dead and as a result everything changed.
Some of us may have obstacles to believing and trusting in the message of the resurrection, you are not alone. God desires to gently and lovingly reassure us that the profound message of hope that Jesus is risen can rest in our hearts now and into eternity.
Share your doubts with him, he can take them and transform them, as he did for Thomas.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week John 20:21
Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you!
As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’
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.
