I NEED HELP — 4th Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome

Welcome to the Patio with Alex Thomas. After a very active ministry at St. Philip's-By -The-Sea in Lantzville (on Vancouver Island) both in the old church and then in the new, I am now able to gather in the Patio and walk the beaches in this part of the world. The Patio is an informal setting where I plan to share with you sermon ideas, stories, and other inspirational data on the upcoming weekly lections in the Revised Common Lectionary.

Sermons for all three years of the Revised Common Lectionary are included in the Sermon Archive of this site.

So drop in, sit awhile and enjoy!
