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,
According to the Red Cross 120 conflicts rage across the world as I write. Peace is an elusive dream for many parts of the world and its people. It is estimated since the birth of Jesus there have only been 268 years of relative world peace until today. The present crisis in the Middle East has global implications for us all. We are citizens of a world village and we can’t afford to feel that our relative geographical isolation and significant wealth brings security. We need as we always have, saving.
This is the deep understanding that Lent invites us into, our realisation of our own brokenness and a seeking out for mercy and hope. It begins with a personal encounter with God, who came to serve and save us in Jesus. In this week’s Gospel reading (John 4:5-42) there is a glorious story of Jesus’ encounter with a Samaritan woman, where all that is lost is redeemed and restored.
That is our prayer that in a personal Christ centred transformation we can live in hope and confidence. That whatever comes our way, ultimately in Jesus all will be well.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
Verse of the week John 4:41
And because of his words many more became believers.
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.
