Rock Mass First Sunday of the Month
Rock Mass August 2024 - Amazing Grace
For it is by God's grace
that you have been saved
through faith.
It is not the result
of your own efforts,
but it is God's gift,
so that no one
can boast about it.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
Peace, Love and Light!
Kevin (Cloud)
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".
