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.
Please remember that PCC members and sidesmen must be on the electoral roll and applications should be received by April 14th if you wish to attend and vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting this year.
Thank you to all those who have completed and returned their forms. There are forms available in each of the churches for anyone else who wishes to be on the new electoral roll. 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, have difficulty in collecting a form or wish to return a form by post, please email: bhdelectoralroll@gmail.com

O IMMORTAL Lord God, who inhabitest eternity, and hast brought thy servants to the beginning of another year: Pardon, we humbly beseech thee, our transgressions in the past, bless to us this New Year, and graciously abide with us all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen+

Dear Friends of the Parish of Buxted & Hadlow Down,
Every 6 years we are required to renew our Electoral Roll. This is your opportunity to identify with the Parish of Buxted & Hadlow Down and allows you to participate in electing Church Wardens and the PCC. You do not need to live within the parish boundaries to register, provided that you habitually worship at one of our parish churches.

O God, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy only-begotten Son to the Gentiles: Mercifully grant, that we, which know thee now by faith, may after this life have the fruition of thy glorious Godhead; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen+

ALMIGHTY God, who didst give such grace unto thy holy Apostle Saint Andrew, that he readily obeyed the calling of thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed him without delay: Grant unto us all, that we, being called by thy holy word, may forthwith give up ourselves obediently to fulfil thy holy commandments; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen+
