Clergy Thoughts: Dear friends, as we reach the 5th Sunday of Lent, we can still be reminded that through Our Lord's Death on The Cross, we can still be sure that " With The Lord, there is mercy, and in Him is plentiful redemption."  So, let us all be confident, that one day, Jesus will, just like He did for Lazarus, restore us all for the Last Day.  Rev. David Croucher.
