There are several key events in the Calendar that we mark at Common Grace each year. You can find a collection of our resources here:

The Common Grace movement encourages individual congregations to reclaim William Cooper’s Aboriginal Sunday and each year provides a free Church Resource Toolkit developed by Aboriginal Christian Leaders to equip churches and faith communities to act in solidarity with Aboriginal peoples on the Sunday before January 26.
