SAFELY ADRIFT
GENESIS 7:17-24 REV. ELIZABETH GILBERT
For some, summer vacation is a time to seek out a body of water and let the cares of the world wash away as they float on the gentle waves and soak up the sun. Or maybe a visit to the local pool is your way to cool down during the hot summer days. And an icy, cold drink of water is just the thing to refresh after a hot afternoon working in the yard. Water has the power to relax, refresh and rejuvenate in ways almost nothing else can. And water has the power to overwhelm and overpower, as well. A day out on the water in a boat can be a lot of fun, but being lost in the ocean or left adrift without power in the open water can be frightening and dangerous. Noah, one of the legendary figures of the faith, found himself dealing with a terrifying amount of water. Both the springs of the earth and the clouds above had opened to cover the earth with water. Noah and his family alone took refuge in a giant ark, along with animals that Noah was tasked with keeping alive on the boat. Noah and his family and the animals were adrift for months with only the provisions they had packed and without any sight of land. Living day to day in perilous conditions and without any certainty about their future, Noah drifted day and night, safe only in the knowledge that his God was with him. Even without solid footing below or a plan for ever getting off the boat, Noah was safely adrift, confident in the care of his Lord. Does your future look bleak? Are you feeling like you are adrift without direction or details? Even in the most dire of circumstances, you are not alone. Even if you are adrift, you are safely adrift in the care of your good and loving God.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
GENESIS 7:17-24 (NIV)

2018 PUMC ANNUAL FISH FRY The 2018 PUMC Annual Fish Fry is July 27 and 28! There will be sign-ups for Fish Fry volunteers in the main lobby at PUMC on Sunday mornings July 1, 8, 15, and 22. Please stop at the tables to learn more and find a place to serve! PUMC’s annual Fish Fry is one of the biggest outreach events of PUMC each year. We welcome thousands of neighbors and friends, serve tons of food (literally – tons!), and the profits all support missions both near and far. Sunday School classes, youth groups, the PUMC Missions Committee, and other groups directly benefit from volunteering for this event. We are proud of the nearly 200 volunteers each year who participate by baking desserts, frying fish, serving in the main line, and so much more. From humble beginnings of welcoming home troops from WWII, this annual event has been embraced by the entire Plainfield area community. Please plan on enjoying the good food and hospitality with us at this year’s fish fry. Jane Iles, First Chair, fishfry@pumc.org Rich Philip, Second Chair Tom Iles, Third Chair
