The Stained Glass Windows
There are four stained glass windows incorporated in the structure of Pakachoag Church. They are all over 100 years old, and originated in two now-closed area Congregational churches. They are all opalescent, drapery glass, and rich in color and texture.
A pair of companion windows greets visitors in the tower entrance of the building. They represent the theme "Jesus suffers the little children to come unto him." This was brought from the former Hope Congregational Church on Southbridge Street in Worcester, as was the round "Jesus in the Temple at Twelve" which is installed at eye level in the Great Hall.
The "Angel of Praise" window loftily graces the end wall above the balcony. This takes its name from the figure of an angel which stands as the central image. This window was originally installed in the Moen Chapel of the Union Congregational Church on Chestnut Street in Worcester, and dates to 1897.
