Dorcas Raised from the Dead

Memory Verse: Galatians 6:10
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Overview

Tabitha (or Dorcas) was a woman who “was always doing good and helping the poor” in her city of Joppa. When she died everyone was very sad and they called Peter to come to her house. When Peter arrived, all the widows were crying and showing the clothing that Dorcas had made for them. Peter sent all of them out of the room and then, by the power of God, made Dorcas come back to life.
