The text does not specify whether or not Dorcas / Tabitha was either a wife or a mother. It does indicate the she was greatly loved and mourned at her death because of her attitude and activity in life, Acts 9:36,39. The text says that she, "abounded with deeds of kindness and charity..." Such are surely "motherly" characteristics! Our country sets aside the second Sunday in May to honor "Mothers" with their own special day. While the day is not commanded specifically in the Bible, certainly the concept is encouraged in both the Old and New Testaments. This lesson seeks to highlight the biblically-given characteristics of "Mothers" that cause us to seek to honor them as God commands.

About the Church of Christ

The Southside Church of Christ family is a group of people who are striving to learn, understand, and live what God's Word teaches. We want to be New Testament Christians- nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

We call ourselves a "Church of Christ" for several reasons:

We seek to be the Church according to His teaching, therefore we belong to Him;
It is a scriptural name by which saints in the New Testament were called [Romans 16:16]; and,
It hopefully identifies us to others as people who are trying to be the non-denominational Church which Jesus Christ purchased with his blood [Acts 20:28].
