13 December 2025 – Bark the Herald

Join us in Silsoe Churchyard on Saturday 13 December at 4pm for a festive carol service with a difference. This special event welcomes both two-legged and four-legged carollers, so bring along your dog to add their own “vocals” to the celebration.

There will be hot chocolate and mince pies for human guests, and dog biscuits for our canine companions. A joyful occasion for all the family.

Everyone welcome

‘Wrap Up’ – Coats Wanted

The Rotary Club of Barton Le Clay are collecting new or second-hand coats for women, men, young people and kids. These should be coats you would be happy to receive – dirty coats with missing buttons or broken zips aren’t nice for anyone.

Where will the coats go? To charities working with the homeless, night shelters, women’s refuges and families in crisis.

There’s a collection point in Silsoe Church porch and also in the Sports Centre and Lower School

At Flitton, there will also be a display of lilies, each one in memory of a loved ones. The names will be read out at the service. A donation of £5 for each lily is asked for. If you would like to make a donation for a lily and a candle lit in their memory, please contact Margaret Butt.

2 November 2025 – Remember with Love

We have Remember with Love services at Pulloxhill (11am), at Silsoe (3pm) and at Flitton (5pm) on 2 November 2025.

This is an opportunity to remember loved ones who died recently or long ago, to give thanks for their lives and to light a candle for them.

There is no need to give names of loved ones in advance if you are coming on the day, as you will be able to give their names then. However, if you would like the name of a loved one(s) read in the service and you will not be there, you are welcome to give the names in advance by phoning 01525 643478 and leaving a message for the vicars.
