Called Out: Tabitha

It takes a lot of people to keep a ministry running. That’s true today and it was true 2000 years ago when Christianity was just getting started. And those ministries are run by thousands of people who don’t make headlines; they’re just regular people meeting needs in the name of Jesus. Those people are our spiritual ancestors who place a call on our lives: what will this generation do to continue their work?

This Sunday we’ll talk about Tabitha, who is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, the book of the New Testament that tells the story of the early church. We’ll also talk about the Over the Hill Gang, a group of men from FUMC Denton, a set of spiritual ancestors much closer to home. In our 166 year history, we have an incredible set of spiritual ancestors. How will we answer their call?
