Tabitha Friends












.
.

The young girls at church participate in a Tabitha class, after the Bible character Tabitha (Dorcas). You will find her story in the book of Acts, chapter 9 verses 36 to 42. Although there is not a great deal told about her, the little that is said is enough to show that she was a godly woman who was loved and respected in the Christian community of Joppa. We do know that she was well known for doing good and for helping the poor.
.
The purpose of the girl's class is to teach them how to do good to others and how to serve other people. Part of the class includes a friendship program, where the girls are matched up with a lady from the congregation. Last year Abigail was matched up with a new member and couldn't remember her name. This year Abigail took her camera along, so she wouldn't forget who her 'friend' was. And of course it was Ms. Tami! Someone she knows very well!
.
Baylor was matched up with Ms. Angela! At the end of the program the girls and their 'friends' will have a lovely tea!
