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.

SPOTLIGHT
Dear Friends,
In 1789 John Wesley the founder of the Methodist Church delivered a sermon entitled ‘The use of money’ in it he encouraged Christians to earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can. The combination of working fruitfully, being wise stewards and generous givers is an ongoing challenge.
This Sunday we consider living a life of generosity and making good use of the resources that God has loaned to us. The challenge arises when we consider what our needs are relative to those of others and the world. I’m very good at justifying my spending decisions and what I require to live my life. There it is, the use of ‘my’ twice in the last sentence! Is it mine or God’s? If we believe that all we have is ours, generosity will always be an uncharted territory with occasional journeys into giving. If it is God’s, then a whole new world opens up with the possibility of changing lives and situations.
How much should we give ultimately lies between us and God. When was the last time we had that conversation and considered that our giving reflects an understanding of God’s generosity to us in Jesus? As our verse of the week states, we need to seek his Kingdom in this act of discipleship.
A Prayer
Dear Lord, I ask for a generous spirit to dwell within me. Help me to give freely and joyfully, reflecting Your love and kindness in all my actions. May my heart be open to those in need, and may my hands be willing to serve without hesitation.
Guide me to be a beacon of Your generosity, sharing Your blessings with others in meaningful ways. Thank You for the abundance You have provided and for the opportunity to be a blessing to others. Amen.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well
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.
