Easter

A sunny, breezy Easter Day in Pittsfield. St. Stephen's was packed with parishioners, their family members, friends and visitors.

Rich Corning piped us in to worship.



Spring flowers decorate the altar.

Bishop Robinson



The Bishop's sermon on the Resurrection. He reminded us not merely to be admirers of Jesus, but to be followers of the Risen Christ.



The choir sings the last of several magnificent anthems.



We enjoyed a delicious feast in the Undercroft after the service.



Our Bishop and our Rector.

A blessed Eastertide to all!
