What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. ~Jesus
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:25-32)

The
inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All
Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s. On the
first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass which was a mix of
traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A live band would play popular
rock music which couldn’t necessarily be called “Christian” but contained spiritual
phrases and references to God or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s
there was an explosion of these songs coming out of the "secular"
music industry way before there was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The Gospel According
To Billboard's Top 10". (Stained glass guitar angel found at www.patheos.com/blogs/nadiabolzweber)
