Cevaa invites you to experience the year 2026 through weekly meditations, the fruit of diverse voices from all our communities around the world. These simple yet profound texts open paths to a better understanding of the Gospel in the richness of our cultures, histories, and realities. The meditations are, of course, part of the theme of our Common Action, "Living differently in creation," and they invite each reader to convert, to transform their outlook, their habits, and their way of being in the world. This booklet is not only intended to nourish our reflection: it also aims to support a vibrant community dynamic. Each text is a pause, a call to prayer, discernment, and commitment. In a world marked by crises and injustices, these meditations become reference points for listening to the word of God and responding together. This collection also reminds us of something essential: Common Action is not a project to be read or understood, but an action to be lived. It takes on its full meaning when each and every one of us takes it up in a concrete way, in worship services, meetings, outreach activities, and in daily life.

Every year, the Evangelical Church in Morocco (EEAM) offers young people a summer camp where they can exchange ideas, share times of meditation, listen to the Word of God and experience moments of togetherness. https://cevaa-actioncommune.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Gestion-deau_projet-JEEAM.mp4 For the 2025 vintage, which has just taken place, the camp leaders included a time of exchange in the program to launch the joint action "inhabiting creation differently" with young people. Omer Dagan, Executive Secretary of Cevaa's Youth and Animation Department, took part in a videoconference to present our action and develop ideas for activities and work. An opportunity to share these beautiful words of Francis of Assisi: "Praise be to you, my Lord, for our mother earth, who sustains us and governs us, and produces various fruits with the colorful flowers and grass". Cantique des créatures, p. 343.

As part of our joint initiative "Living differently with creation", thirty young people from ten church regions took part in a four-day training course on waste recycling. Organized at the Ngaoundéré Construction Centre by the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the LEELC Youth Department, the course was based on theoretical and practical learning. At the end of the session, participants received a certificate symbolizing the commitment of young people to preserving the environment.
