Today was my turn to lead worship at college.  Strangely, the Lectionary landed at some of my favourite/most significant Bible passages (Jacob at the Jabbok, and Paul's Charge to Timothy), so it was a great excuse to pull out some of my favourite artefacts for the table as a 'centre-piece' as well as singing some hymns I really love.

This one, to the tune 'Scarlet Ribbons' was new to me, but seemed really fitting for the context...

Bring your questions, bring your feelings,
bring the things you think you’ve learned.
Here, with God, let’s search for meaning,
in encounter with God’s Word.
By these texts and their retelling,
heard through all we bring today,
may God grant fresh understanding
of the role we’re called to play.

I enjoyed leading today, and received some positive feedback from people who were there, which is always encouraging.
