Dorcas ACTS is a ministry of the Aspley Uniting Church, a parish of the Uniting Church of Qld Synod. Dorcas is the activities and brand name of the charity.
Dorcas, also known as Tabitha, is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible in the Book of Acts, Chapter 9, verses 36-42. Dorcas was a woman who lived in Joppa, known for her good works and acts of charity, particularly for making garments for the needy. The story tells of her becoming ill and dying, and how the Apostle Peter was called to her side. Upon his arrival, Peter prayed for her, and she was miraculously brought back to life, which led to many people believing in the Lord.
This account highlights her as a disciple and a figure of compassion and charity in the early Christian community.
