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,
It’s wonderful to be back after a seven week study leave. Thank you for all of you who have enabled me the privilege of this great gift. I hope to flavour my talks and sermons with some of the experiences I’ve had since having time away from parish and diocesan life.
One of the joys has been attending other churches on Sundays. Four of these within our Diocese and four further afield including India and the USA. The church is a worldwide phenomenon with faithful people who commit themselves to the truth revealed in our scriptures today, that declare the identity and majesty of Jesus as God. I felt at home in all of these various churches and was warmly welcomed. Ultimately we will all worship Jesus in a heavenly setting and be singing praises with a united voice. The barriers that sadly divide us on earth will be broken down, once and for all. But lets start working on those now!
With love and prayers
Simon
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.
