Rhoda was a young servant in the house where believers had gathered to pray for the imprisoned Peter. When he was miraculously freed and knocked, she recognised his voice and, in her joy, ran to tell the others before even opening the door.
Sweet and vintage, Rhoda means rose and captures a moment of prayerful, joyful faith.
