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
Together we gather as three churches in Pulloxhill for our united Benefice service. We come from three village communities, all unique, but we come with a united desire to serve God and share his Good News. This Sunday also we come to celebrate with Olivia the beginning of her curacy and ministry with us. Continue to pray for her and all that will be in the future years.
In the declaration of assent that will be read as part of the legal process for Olivia’s curacy the words; ‘will you affirm your loyalty to the inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care’. These are words that whatever our role in God’s family we can be united in our commitment to living these out and serving our villages and the wider world.
May this be an invitation to a start or reset for us all. It’s wonderful to have Olivia, but we are all part of the team. So be encouraged to work, pray and live to God’s glory in all we say and do, united in Jesus.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
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.
