Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I hope and pray that you are enjoying summer. It makes me so happy to see that most of you are making an effort to give your time to God through prayers and coming to Church as well as spend more time with family, which is as important. May God give you strength to continue.
I would like to let you know that I will be taking my vacation this month. God willing, my family and I will be back to Gulf Shores on August the 7th. During this time of my vacation, two priests will be here, and they will be serving Divine Liturgies on Sundays. For more information about time and dates of services, please, check the Service schedule for July.
Please, keep my family in your prayers.
May the blessing and the mercy of the Lord be with all of you!
Yours in Christ,
+Father Sasa Turkic
