Dorcas: The Lady Who Loved to Help

Hey GIGI kids, Today we have a beautiful Bible story about a woman called Dorcas - you can find her story in the Bible in Acts 9:39-42. Here is a sneak peek.... Days passed, and Cyrus and his mother waited anxiously for Dorcas to send word that she had completed the dress. But the only news they got was that Dorcas was very sick. "Oh, no!" Cyrus' mother sobbed. "Poor Dorcas! She has done so much to help everyone in this village; there must be something we can do to help her." Cyrus and his mother walked through the city to Dorcas' house so that they could cheer her up with kind words and some flowers that Cyrus had picked from the garden. When they reached the house, Cyrus saw that Dorcas' small bedroom was already crowded with local people who had come to visit her and pray for her. Squeezing into the house, they found a spot where they could see Dorcas. She was lying very still on her bed. Her skin was burning up with fever, and she let out a dreadful cough. Her face looked thin and pale, and Cyrus could tell that she was very sick indeed. What happened next? To find out, find a comfortable spot and listen to the episode. _____________________________________________________ Story by: Ashlee Price  READ STORY ON THE BLOG VISIT OUR WEBSITES SHOP OUR BOOKS SHOP OUR AUDIOBOOKS Special effect editing: James Wagner  Music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: [email protected] Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122
