"Ave Maria" ~ Franz Schubert is presented after the sermon Mimi Carlson, flute Joyce Rhodes, piano .......... CHORAL ANTHEM “Suo-gan” ~ arr. Barlow Bradford .......... Acts 9:36-43 36 Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of charity. 37 At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in a room upstairs. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, ‘Please come to us without delay.’ 39 So Peter got up and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said, ‘Tabitha, get up.’ Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. 41 He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he showed her to be alive. 42 This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa for some time with a certain Simon, a tanner.

Connecting People to God in Christ
Happy New Years! A kind phrase… but do we mean it? Are we really expecting to be happy this year? We all long for a life of abundant joy and happiness. Why does it seem that many of our days end in anger, frustration, and tears? We try to fill our days with the things we think will make us happy, but it does not always work. What if we started 2018 making a decision to pursue the joy and freedom that only a personal relationship with God can bring?

We long to find meaning and significance in being part of something greater than ourselves. What if participating in the ordinary is something extraordinary?

Peter was able to raise someone from the dead. It was something he had seen Jesus do several times. Christ’s compassion brought healing to many people, and People followed his example. Even after Christ has been raised, there are still people who are hurting. We need healers.
