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,
On 15 March we celebrate mothers and mother figures in our lives. We are both blessed to have our own mothers still with us as they head into their 90th year.
Mothering Sunday is a day of celebration for many, a time to rejoice and be thankful for the legacy of commitment throughout our lives. For others it may be tinged with sadness. Mothers who were never known, absent or less than loving, women who aspired to motherhood and it never came to realisation. In the midst of meals, flowers and chocolates there may be tears…Jesus came to earth and trusted Mary in his infant vulnerability, she was subsequently to witness his crucifixion and death.
Love can pay a heavy price. This Sunday as everyday might be an invitation to consider the price of forgiveness if needed in any of our relationships as mentioned in our verse of the week. The unconditional love of many mothers reflects that of God and he invites us to live it fully this day.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave 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.
