New Church Electoral Roll
Every six years, we are required to prepare a new church electoral roll and this has to be done before the Annual Parochial Church meeting in April 2025. This means that everyone who wishes to be on the roll has to reapply, by completing a new application form.
You are eligible to be included on this roll if you have been baptised, are sixteen or over, are a member of the Church of England and live in the Parish of Buxted and Hadlow Down. If you are not resident in the parish, you are also eligible if you have habitually attended worship in the parish over the last six months, in addition to the other qualifications.
This January, there will be envelopes with new electoral roll forms for everyone on the present electoral roll in the church where they normally worship. There are also forms available for anyone who is not on the current roll but wishes to be on the new one. In either case, please fill in the form and either put in the box in the church, give to a warden, or to Katharine Arratoon, the Electoral Roll Officer. Thank you.
If you have any questions about this, please email: bhdelectoralroll@gmail.com

“Dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

O ALMIGHTY God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord: Grant us grace so to follow thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys, which thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
