Center on Halsted Celebrates Grand Opening
This spring, Chicago celebrates the grand opening of the new LGBT community center, the Center on Halsted.
The Center is in the early stages of planning a series of several community interfaith services to commemorate the opening of the new Center and to celebrate the many dimensions of the LGBT community— lives and loves, hopes and dreams, and passions and promises.
The services will take place at the Center on Halsted beginning at 9:00 a. m. on each of several Sundays in June. The theme is “Celebrate @ the Center!” and several topics have been identified for each Sunday, based on other activities happening in the community and at the Center, which include:
- June 3—Family: Celebrating Love and Relationships in Their Splendid Diversity
- June 10—Community and Diversity: Claiming the Rainbow Promise and Possibility
- June 17—Health: Renewing Body, Mind, and Spirit Generation to Generation
- June 24—Spirit: Uniting for Equality and Elevating Pride
The Center is seeking individuals, LGBT organizations, and allies who will join together to develop, celebrate, and promote these meaningful experiences through music, arts, readings, and rituals from our community’s diverse traditions and experiences. The Center is located at 3656 N. Halsted, Chicago. For more information, visit www.centeronhalsted.org.
