Location: Sharpsburg, Georgia, United States

"...because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together — by trade they were tentmakers." Acts 18:3. Tentmaker is a title taken by bi-vocational pastors. As such, I am both a pastor and a project manager. I am a pastor of a local congregation of moderate, accepting and affirming people who worship in the Baptist tradition. We call our church "Hope Memorial Baptist" and we are about 40 in number. I am also a project manager of major construction projects for the State of Georgia. My home and church is in rural Coweta County, between Peachtree City and Newnan, with a mailing address of Sharpsburg, Georgia.

Year B - Christ the King


Liturgy of the Word:





Daniel 7:9-14
Psalm 93
Revelation 1:1-8
John 18:33-37

Collect (BCP):

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
and his name is called The Word of God.
On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed,
"King of kings and Lord of lords."
Hallelujah!
(Isaiah 9:6, Revelation 19:11, Revelation 19:13, Revelation 19:16.)
