Minister Carmen Reid is preaching from Acts 9:36–43, sharing the story of Tabitha (Dorcas), a beloved disciple in Joppa who died and was raised back to life through Peter’s prayer.

The message explores:

• Her Character: Known for who she was, not who she was connected to.
• Her Community: The widows who showed up to grieve, honor, and support her.
• Her Comeback: Peter prayed privately before presenting her alive to the community.

Key themes include:
avoiding burnout from constant giving, the power of simple prayer, reclaiming your true identity in Christ, and the assurance that what seems dead is only dormant.

The sermon closes with a rousing charge for the congregation to “get up,” paired with worship and prayer.
