Pilgrim Uniting Church, Adelaide SA SUN 23-SEP-2018 11.00 AM Sermon Rev Sandy Boyce Pentecost 18 – The final section of Proverbs chapter 31 describes the activities and accomplishments of an extremely capable, over-achieving woman – successsful in everything she does as entrepreneur, business woman, wife and mother. But what can be the effect of this example on women in today's increasingly frantic world? It would leave no time for things like recreation, or pregnancy and childbirth. You would be left with the feeling that you've never done enough, leading to depression, sleep disorder and other health issues. This section of Proverbs should not be taken as a job description for women. It is about character, which transcends gender and circumstance. Could it be applied to the collective endeavours of a community, men and women working together? Proverbs 31: 10-31 Playing Time   –   17:23
