Queerly beloved, we are made of dust. And one day we'll return to this earth. The season of Lent is a time in the Christian calendar to re-calibrate, reconnect, and return to the God of love. It's so easy to wander away toward things that don't bring us life. But in Lent we turn, and return to the source of life.

At this service in Dreams and Visions special sanctuary, we'll say goodbye to the Alleluia's and quiet our hearts, receiving the sign of the cross in ashes on our foreheads, and remembering that we are temporary, and we are loved. Our time together will conclude with grounding practices designed to usher us into a contemplative season, followed by bread and soup on the Portico.

For the safety of all we'll continue to mask. We have begun singing indoors while wearing masks.

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 sing while 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.
