One of the dramas at the “Living Hope” convention depicted life in Egypt during the time of Moses and included a scene of Moses at the burning bush. The couple responsible for procuring the needed props were amazed to find how help came from inside and outside the congregation. For the burning bush it was decided to use aluminum polycarbonate moved by air, with a light shining on it. One Witness donated a furnace fan; another provided the bush, and still another lent two 1,000-watt photo flood lamps. Merchants in the area supplied ideas and help in making the best use of the available props.

The wife who was to get the jewelry for the drama told what happened: “In our congregation there wasn’t enough fancy jewelry for one Egyptian, let alone all of them. I mentioned our drama to an old lady at a little grocery store. Surprisingly, she knew a woman who had much costume jewelry. The owner of this jewelry contacted me and brought over $350 [U.S.] worth of costume and real jewelry and also demonstrated how it could be used to best advantage.”
