After we laughed about how silly we thought the name Dorcas was, we heard about what an amazing woman she was! She was a kind and loving and helped poor people by making them clothes. We talked about how some of our own grandmas and moms sew clothes or knit scarves. We even found out that some ladies from our church are like Dorcas because they make clothes for poor people too. Cool! We were sad to hear that Dorcas got very sick and died. But God performed a miracle through the apostle Peter and brought her back to life! We learned that we can help people by praying for them, just like Peter prayed for his friend.
For our activity, we made clothes just like Dorcas:
Parents, if you know a close friend or family member who is sick, pray for them with your child. Talk about the importance of prayer and remind them that when Peter prayed for Dorcas, she was healed. OR. Have you been needing to clean out your kid's closet? Fill a box with clothes that no longer fit and deliver them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Show your child that they can give to the poor too!
