“Rise heart; thy Lord is risen.”

HerbertGreetings St. Stephen’s family!
Anyone who knows me knows this: Easter is, by far, my favorite
Season in the Church Year. I love it not only for the Paschal Mystery we
celebrate and contemplate; I love it as well because of its promise of renewal
and rebirth.
We, at St. Stephen’s, understand fully what renewal and rebirth
are. We are currently in the midst of this new life. And we know how wonderful
and truly miraculous it can be at times.
During this Easter Season I would like to extend to you my blessings and deepest gratitude. St. Stephen’s has become a place and community in which I am finding myself rejoicing and giving thanks on a daily basis. Truly I have seen here in church community, the miracle of renewal and rebirth every Sunday and oftentimes every day.
So, please do celebrate the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s victory
over death, as well as all the ways in which we have experienced rebirth and
renewal in our lives by worshipping at St. Stephen’s this Easter Season.
And again, please know of my deepest gratitude and joy in being
able to serve alongside you at St. Stephen’s.
Peace,
