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
We find ourselves in a world where unrest, conflict and division are rife, it was ever thus and humanity’s inhumanity is profound. In our modern age through instantly available media we are more than ever aware that this world cries out for tranquillity.
The theme of the second Sunday of Advent is that of Peace. Peace that is found not in actions (although these are needed) but in Jesus the Prince of Peace. Isaiah gives a vivid picture of what can be found in Christ. A new order of creation and living where there is calm and order.
May this Advent period give you hope in the peace promised and the peace found in Jesus. Our prayer is that the services and events of this season will give you confidence that ultimately all shall be well. Peace be with you.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week: Isaiah 11:9
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LЉЌϾ
as the waters cover the sea.
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.
