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,
Can we take you on a journey? Over the course of the next week, culminating on Easter Sunday there are a huge variety of services and events in our three churches as we focus during Holy Week on the journey of Jesus to the Cross that changed the world and our lives. We hope there is something that will offer you an opportunity for reflection, challenge and ultimately joy in our Easter pilgrimage together.
We head out together from the entrance of Jesus on Palm Sunday into the growing hostility towards him in Jerusalem, the Last Supper, arrest, trial and crucifixion and then we wait. We wait in the silence hoping that all will be fulfilled, sin forgiven, death destroyed and resurrection celebration. We’d love to encourage you to enter into as much of this week as is possible, to glean the power, majesty and invitation that it brings.
May God reveal his love for you.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Luke 19:38
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
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.
