A Tapestry of Services For Every Soul

Connally Drive Christian Ministries (CDCM)

At Connally Drive Christian Ministries, our purpose is clear: to glorify the one true and living God and to make His name known among all people. We are a Christ-centered, Spirit-led, Bible-believing church dedicated to advancing God’s kingdom through heartfelt worship, authentic fellowship, sound biblical teaching, and compassionate service.

Our ministry stands as a beacon of hope and spiritual growth, rooted in the truth of God's Word and the power of His love. We seek to create a space where individuals and families from all walks of life can encounter God, grow in their faith, and discover their God-given purpose.

Join us throughout the year as we honor God through joyful seasonal gatherings, including Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations filled with worship, fellowship, and community spirit.

Experience the power of united prayer and divine restoration in our Prayer and Healing Circle—an intimate space where faith, hope, and healing come together.

As I rise this morning, I take a moment to pause…
To breathe deeply and gently center myself in this new day.
With each breath, I inhale peace…
And exhale any worry or weight I may carry.

Today is a gift.
A fresh beginning.
An open page waiting to be written with intention, grace, and purpose.

I am grounded in who I am.
I release yesterday and refuse to rush into tomorrow.
I embrace this moment—present, awake, and aware.

I choose calm over chaos.
I choose faith over fear.
I choose progress, not perfection.

May I walk through this day with a steady heart.
May I speak with kindness, act with integrity, and see with compassion.
Whatever comes, I trust that I have what I need within me.

Today, I am aligned.
Today, I am enough.
Today, I move forward in peace.

And so it is.

Holy Communion Meditation

Before we partake in this sacred meal, let us pause…
Quiet our hearts, calm our minds, and turn our attention fully to Christ.

This is more than bread and juice.
This is a reminder of covenant.
This is a celebration of grace.
This is communion with the living God.

As we hold the bread, we remember His body—
Broken for us. Bruised, pierced, and nailed to a cross.
He bore our suffering so we could be healed.

As we lift the cup, we remember His blood—
Poured out for the forgiveness of our sins.
A perfect sacrifice, made once and for all.

Scripture Reading:

“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you:
The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,
and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said,
‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’
In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying,
‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
—1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (NIV)

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,
We thank You for the cross.
We thank You for Your body and Your blood.
As we partake of this communion,
Cleanse us, renew us, and draw us close.
We do this in remembrance of You—
Until You return in glory.
Amen.

You may now take the bread… and the cup.

Song of Praise: “You Alone Are Worthy”

Lord, You are good, and Your mercy never ends.
You speak, and the stars obey.
You move, and the mountains bow.
The heavens declare Your glory—
And so do we.

You are holy, mighty, and full of grace.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
Your name is to be praised.

We lift our hands in awe.
We raise our voices in joy.
We open our hearts in worship.

You alone are worthy.
You alone are faithful.
You alone are God.

Be exalted in this place,
Be magnified in our lives,
Be praised forevermore.

Hallelujah! Amen.

You, O Lord, are clothed in full compassion.
Not halfway love, not conditional grace—
But mercy that stretches farther than our failures,
Kindness that heals what the world has broken.

When we are weary, You are gentle.
When we are wandering, You wait.
When we are wounded, You bind our hearts
With hands that still bear the marks of mercy.

You see us fully—
The mess and the beauty, the questions and the faith—
And yet You love without hesitation.

Full compassion means You stay.
It means You lift.
It means You carry us when we cannot carry ourselves.

Let us live from that love.
Let us give from that grace.
Let us see others the way You see us—
Not for what they’ve done, but for who they are becoming in You.

Lord, make us vessels of Your compassion.
Help us speak softly, walk humbly,
And reflect Your heart in every moment.

Because we have been loved in full,
We will love in full.

Amen.
