Divine companion, You are a God who rejects self-sufficiency even in your own personhood. That you exist in a multitude—in a sacred community not only with the cosmos but also within yourself—is a mystery to us. From Black Liturgies by Cole Arthur Riley #weareccda #ccdaprays

"This is what neighbor love looks like in practice: Realizing that you might not understand my pain but committing to taking it seriously. Perhaps then, love can cast out our fears of getting it wrong and stretch us enough to be in community with one another." - Amy Kenny

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control (Galatians 5:22). While these fruits are universally true for all people, how did they find expression, uniquely, in each local culture?" -Richard Twiss #weareccda

This liturgy was written this week by attendees of the 2026 CCDA Conference! Creator God, long ago you declared, “Behold! I am doing a new thing,” and we hear your words calling to us today. #weareccda #ccdaRichmond
Creator God, long ago you declared, “Behold! I am doing a new thing,” and we hear your words calling to us today. In the wilderness, may we behold your presence–your goodness, your kindness, and your love with us. Awaken our imagination to perceive your hand at work, for you are a doing God. And in this sacred space, we trust that you are forming us.

And in this sacred space, we trust that you are forming us.

May we behold your gracious hand in our communities. Help us perceive the ways that our neighbors are working together for shalom for all. Show us those seeds that are sprouting all around us and in us, and how you are calling us to be an oasis together. Fill us with a holy imagination for a flourishing community marked by your grace, your justice, and your powerful presence.
