Click here for 3 prayers for you today.
A prayer before night falls; a prayer for those in pain; and a short prayer about happiness and joy.

Do you have a favorite prayer or scripture passage you'd be willing to share (we wont print your name if you'd rather not). Email us...

If you have images of nature (we need good and bad from anywhere in the world) that can be shared digitally, and legally, send them to Jeannie Cobb, to be included in the slide show that Crash! and eMerge are creating as part of the upcoming Missa Gaia performance. We need them in a large format in order to project them well (1900 X 1200 pixels or larger). We need all images by Sept 30. Thank you! 310-370-0555.
