After a month of hard creative work, a glorious sacred space has emerged, big enough to make room for times of worship that include storytelling, meditating, singing, praying, and, of course, playing.

With so many good things to celebrate, it’s time for a party! Dreams and Visions will gather downstairs to meet and greet each other PLUS finish our final act of decorating: we will cleaning one of the building signs and adding the name of Dreams and Visions to it.

Once we finish sprucing up the sign, we will travel upstairs as a group to see the new sacred space. There will be time to explore the space and share //dreams and visions// for the upcoming season of worship. Then, we’ll come back outside for some refreshments and closing prayer.

Dreams and Visions has decided to call this a Homewarming party because, while we might have houses in many different places, we’re really settling into a new community home! Over the past few seasons, we have learned a lot from meeting new members, gathering in different spaces, trying out new events, and brainstorming different ideas for the community. Now, Dreams and Visions has a more permanent home to fill, where we can hold onto the things that make this community shine.

Dreams and Visions is an LGBTQ+ rooted community. We honor your full selves, use your pronouns, and do our best to create trauma-informed spaces. Gender neutral bathrooms are available. While the lower level is accessible by ramp, the new worship space is located up a set of stairs. Please contact Vicar Claire at vicar@stmarksbaltimore.org if you have trouble navigating stairs, and we will work with you to create a plan.

Dreams and Visions staff keep an eye on COVID data to ensure that community policies stay up to date. For now, we remain masked at all indoor gatherings. We are still singing, and we will do it only when we are outside and wearing masks. Each time we gather, we confirm safety preferences with those present to ensure that everyone is comfortable. As always, these precautions are intended to help all who join us feel at home.
