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,
Possibly the most repeated prayer in the world is for peace. We are as a planet in a constant state of flux when it comes to conflict. This is tragic at whatever level it occurs, globally, nationally, locally or personally. We can almost begin to believe that this is the normal default setting for humanity.
‘The world is worse than ever’ or something similar is an oft repeated phrase that we all too often hear. In the midst of such turmoil how do we respond as followers of Jesus Our communion services have as an integral part the peace. An opportunity to set ourselves right with each other, after confession and before sharing bread and wine. It’s a practical outworking of what we desire for others and ourselves.
Signs and symbols are one thing, a life that personified them is another. We will stumble and fail as peace makers, God knows this, but he doesn’t stop inviting us to begin again. Jesus came to give us a peace that conquers anything that threatens it. That starts with us, our fears, suspicions, anger and loathing. Let us allow the Prince of Peace to come into our lives.
Peace be with you.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
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.
