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
You don’t need me to tell you that we live in uncertain times! To be honest we will always live in uncertain times as human nature has a habit of consistently not getting things right! This spans a scale from being grumpy in the morning (I win the prize!); to what we read of in Luke’s Gospel this Sunday (Luke 21:5-19 ), betrayal, uprisings, persecution and war.
I meet many people who no longer watch the news as they find it upsetting and ‘there’s nothing I can do about it anyway’. We are called to pray to seek God’s wisdom in all situations, in prayer our perspectives change. Where there is injustice we can’t be passive observers or avoiders. Followers of Jesus are called to be salt and light in the world, bringing healing and truth to a fractured world and human relationships.
Jesus invites us to stand firm and trust him, this is a daily message of Christian Discipleship. We need his help in living this out.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week: Luke 21:19
Stand firm and you will win life
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.
