“Hope Gives Life” // Profiles In Hope: Tabitha/Dorcas Wildwood Mennonite Church // Sept 15, 2019 // Joe Heikman “She’s Alive??” // puppet show // a story of Hope from Acts 9:36-43 Two kids, talking together about exciting events in the adult world. Dori (very excited, talking fast): No way! No way, I just can’t believe it, it’s too good to be true! Simon: What are you talking about? What’s too good to be true? Dori: Didn’t you hear? About Tabbi’s grandma? Simon: Tabbi’s grandma? What about her? Dori: Well, you heard that she was sick, right? Simon: Yeah, how’s she doing? Dori: Well, she died! Simon: She died? Dori: Yep, she died! Kicked the bucket. Bought the farm. Simon (interrupting): Dori! This is our friend’s grandma you’re talking about, have some compassion!

I mean, it was all tragic and stuff, tears all around, funeral flowers and whatnot, but then this suuuuper religious dude came and--boom!! Funeral cancelled!
