If you have questions or concerns they should be directed to the Bishop’s Committee. The Shepherd’s Call Newsletter of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin “To Restore All People to Unity with God and Each Other in Christ” BC Buzz Submitted by Lisa Nesson The Church community and the Bishop’s Committee has been pretty busy this past month with several projects and fundraising events. We would like to thank everyone who has pitched in to help with the various events both as volunteers and as partici- pants. It couldn’t all be done without the help of our church community. As a recap, let’s start with Good Shepherd’s Spring Garage Sale that was held the last weekend of April. It was a great success with lots of bargains to be found by all. The proceeds have helped to offset some of the church bills, and we appreciate the chance it afforded us to interact with the neighborhood. Good Shepherd has also partnered with the Sun Prairie Boys and Girls Club for the sum- mer of 2014. This organization will be utilizing our church space, indoors and outdoors, for the summer during the work week. We think this is a great opportunity for the Church to get involved with the community while being reimbursed for the space. The Inaugural Sunshine Ball, held on Saturday, May 3rd, to benefit Sunshine Place, was a huge success! While we did not reach our goal of $25,000.00 for Sunshine Place, we did have 200 tickets sold, and we raised approximately $15,000.00 to benefit this im- portant charity in Sun Prairie. This event is off to a tremendous start, and the planning has begun for the 2015 event. A huge Thank You to Shirley Forester, Mary Deininger, and the Sunshine Ball committee for bringing this idea to life! We all look forward to next year’s event! Finally, but certainly not least, we are all looking forward to the Kick Off of the Capital Campaign for Good Shepherd. It has been decided, based on the recent feasibility study, that we will be moving forward with this campaign. The committee will be work- ing through the summer on the organization of this project, and it will kick off in the fall. We appreciate everyone who responded to the survey . We had the largest re- sponse that the organizers have ever seen – Congratulations to Good Shepherd! Let’s keep the momentum going forward with this important event that will allow us to re- tire the Church’s debt and let us become financially independent from the Diocese. As always, please feel free to contact any of the Bishop’s Committee members with any questions, concerns or ideas you may have regarding Good Shepherd Episcopal Church.
