Dorcas, a devoted disciple in the early church, was renowned for her charitable works, particularly making clothes for widows. Her story in Acts 9 demonstrates the profound impact of consistent service and faith in action. When she died, the apostle Peter was called to her side, where through God's power, she was miraculously restored to life. Her resurrection not only paralleled Jesus's miracles but also emphasized the importance of practical ministry and the lasting influence of faithful service in building God's kingdom.
