Rock Mass
Rock Mass - February 2, 2025
Black History Month
In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and he is equally available to all.
(Colossians 3:11)
"Liberty is equally as precious to a Black man as it is to a white one, and bondage equally as intolerable to the one as it is to the other."
Lemuel Haynes
(July 18, 1753 – September 28, 1833)
American clergyman, veteran of the American Revolution, and he was the first black man in the United States to be ordained as a minister.
Peace, Love and Light!

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".
