Joseph and his response to drought by Mike Wall and Vinay Samuel. Read Genesis Chapter 41. Joseph, who was in prison at the time, was called to interpret some vivid dreams of the Pharaoh. His explanation of what God was saying through these dreams was so convincing that Pharaoh put him in charge of Egypt. Joseph organised the storage of all surplus grain during the seven years of good harvests. He asked that one fifth of each year’s harvest should be required from farmers and stored on behalf ...

Compiled by Isabel Carter, Bessie Cormack, Dr Elizabeth Swain, Sue Hanley and Sandra Michie. All of us have probably experienced a real emergency at some time in our lives – situations when we wonder how best to help and no-one else nearby knows what to do.

by Geoff Folkard and John Sutherland .River water taken for household use can be full of suspended matter, particularly in the rainy season.

It is very important to remove as much as possible of this material before people use the water. Large water treatment centres do this by adding chemical coagulants to the water. These cause the particles to stick together (coagulate) and ...

Caring for our environment by Revd Tim Oakley. When God created Adam and Eve, he put them into a garden, with the responsibility of looking after it. We may not all have gardens, but as the descendants of Adam and Eve, we all have a responsibility for the ‘big garden’ around us – the environment. Unfortunately, because of our sin, we are not very effective at caring for it. Only when God completely remakes the universe, will we and our environment be in perfect harmony. Meanwhile, the ...
