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
Sunday 25th October marks Bible Sunday when we celebrate the gift of scripture to us. The best selling book ever in history and words that have changed and shaped lives. Words inspired by the very Spirit of God.
Often we take the Bible for granted failing to realise that in history people have died for the right to read it in their mother tongue and freely in life. Even today it is a book banned in three countries and severely restricted in a further forty-nine. Ownership or distribution leading to imprisonment and possible death. People have encountered God in its pages and testify to its power in challenging and changing individuals and society. We preach in every service inspired by its words and hoping to explain and apply its truth in its context and for today. At present over twenty people are attending the Bible Course to understand the grand sweep of its narrative and meaning.
If you need a Bible or would like help in reading and studying it we are only too willing to offer some ways forward, do get in touch. Mahatma Ghandhi said “You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.”
May that not be true of us.
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.
