Good Friday
There are many opportunities to watch streamed Masses, including those in our own archdiocese. The latest link can be found here
but watch out for further updates.
Here in the Cluster, we too would like to offer people some useful aids to prayer.These are not liturgical services following the normal rubrics; rather they are prayer resources for people and their families which we hope they will find helpful and useful in recalling these important events in the life of every Christian.
We value your feedback so please tell us what you found helpful and ways in which we might be able to improve.
We would be particularly interested to hear your thoughts about the gospel passage, no matter how short - and sweet!
Simply reply to our email address: southedclust@btinternet.com
Good Friday Assembly
Our prayer resource for Good Friday consisted of a live Zoom conference of all those on our email list who responded to a invitation to take part in our Good Friday assembly at 4pm. This was recorded and you can watch it below.
The Good Friday Assembly shows what is possible within our cluster in terms of providing a means for us to gather together prayerfully. Tell us what you think of it.
Closing Prayer. Our closing prayer to most of our resources is our cluster prayer which can be found below.

Lord continue to bless our community
in this time of transition.
Help us on our journey
to grow from a maintenance church
to a missionary church.
Give us the courage
to be missionary disciples.
Make our doors wide enough
to receive all who need
human love and fellowship;
narrow enough to shut out
all envy, pride and prejudice.
Kindle in us the fire of your love
that all who come here
will find joy, peace and love.
Make this a house of prayer
and a gateway to your kingdom.
AMEN
