TABITHA Youth Group is for 7th-12th grade girls. We meet every Friday from 7:00pm – 8:15pm.
Our Mission:
Thankful And Blessed; Initiating To help people and Honor God. Ready to Arise and serve.
We are a group of young ladies who come together for a spiritual word and a heart for service. TABITHA is the saint that St. Peter raised from the dead in the book of Acts. She was known for her “good works and acts of charity” (Acts 9:36). TABITHA is our example and the name of our group because our mission is to love and learn through our services to the church and to the community.
About St. Tabitha:
Now there was at Joppa a young girl named Tabitha, which means Dorcas “a deer”. She was full of good works and deeds of charity. She spent all her time doing good and helping the poor. She was constant in prayer. She loved Christ with all her heart. She always praised the Lord saying, “O Lord we are all happy…” Tabitha thought of giving something to the poor but she had nothing to give. She could sew clothes. She served the widows who had nobody to help and supported them. She made them tunics and other garments. She was very happy and the Lord rewarded her because the Lord does not overlook the labor of love. In those days Tabitha fell ill and died, and when they had washed her they laid her in an upper room. The disciples sent for St. Peter who came to the upper room without delay. The widows were weeping bitterly and wanted Tabitha to come back to life. St. Peter prayed and Tabitha came back to life. They were all happy. The Lord never overlooks the labor of love.
