Acts 9:36-43

Tabitha, or Dorcas, was raised from the dead to the glory of God. In the telling of this story, we learn some things about Tabitha. What are they? How did people remember her? What do they tell of God's love active in her life?

Use your imagination for a bit and tell the story of Tabitha:

Who was Tabitha?
Dd she have friends and/or relatives?

How did she come to serve God?

What was it like for her, living in Joppa?

What did she spend her days doing?

Why did she give away so much?

What else?

Act out the live of Tabitha as you imagine it.

What can we learn from Tabitha?

How can our story be different because of Tabitha's?

Given our context, what type of "good works and acts of charity" are we called to do as we live out God's story? Make a list.

How and where will you do "good works and acts of charity?"
