The Sacred Grace participates in Lent through giving up and taking up: giving up what can distract us to create space to hear and respond to God, taking up practices that ground us, realign us and increase our attention to God. This calendar provides weekly rhythms for the season of Lent. Invite others to join you in these practices and reflect on your experiences together.
