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,
This Sunday is the first of our church annual meetings, where reports and elections are held for our church council. They mark an opportunity to review the past year and reflect on what has happened in the life of the Benefice. Importantly to see where God has been at work, what has emerged and where we have been challenged.
Can we thank you for being fellow travellers on this journey and we look forward to what is yet to be, as we witness to our faith in Jesus in our lives.
Can we also invite you respond as needed to a few requests:
Pray for the mission and ministry of the church family in all that it
does to meet people with the Good News of Jesus.
Support the church in its meetings and those on the church councils.
Check whether you are on the electoral roll of the church to show
your commitment to the church.
Tell us if you have not received a recent letter concerning your
financial support of church life.
Get in touch with us if you would like a chat about something on your
heart.
With Love and Prayers
Simon and Louise
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.
