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”
Please make a note… � The next Foundations Class will begin on Sunday, January 6 from 1—3 pm.
They will meet each Sunday for eight weeks to discuss a variety of topics
pertaining to what it means to be a member of the Episcopal Church. New
and potential members are encouraged to attend. The Bishop will also be
visiting for our classes on February 17 and 24th.
� We will be celebrating our 2nd Annual Epiphany Pageant on Saturday,
January 5th at our 5 pm service. Thank you to Sharon Henes for overseeing
this fun tradition for Good Shepherd. Everyone can get involved and there
will be refreshments immediately after the pageant.
� We encourage all members to take part in the Bible Challenge 2013.
Episcopalians from all over the world will be participating in this chal-
lenging but fun year of daily bible verse readings. And in just one year, you
will have read the entire bible cover to cover! Get started today… the Janu-
ary bible verses are listed on page 4 of this newsletter. It only takes 10 to 15
minutes a day, but it could transform your life. Please join us and start
reading today.
� Good Shepherd’s Financial Stewardship cards are in the Narthex. Please
pick one up and return it at your earliest convenience.
� We will be holding a Youth night for GSEC youth and their friends on De-
cember 30th and 31st. Events include Lazer Tag and a Lock-in at the church.
All middle school youth and their friends are invited to attend. Sign up is in
the Narthex.
� January 19th is Diocesan Family Day in Oconomowoc. It will be held at Zion
Oconomowoc from 9 am to 3 pm. See Father Mike for more information.
� The “Living Nativity” scene that we held outside in front of our church was
a big success. Everyone had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing live Mary and
Joseph and others as well as petting and feeding all of the live sheep and
goats. Thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this event a success. � Due to all of the Christmas services, there will not be a 6:30 pm service on
Wednesday, December 26th. Our Wednesday liturgy will resume on
January 2nd. � We will be hosting the 2nd Annual Valentine’s Day Dance and Dinner on
February 2nd. Please see Father Mike to sign up or to volunteer. We had an
amazing turnout in 2012 and want to grow this event in 2013.
� We wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Holidays! We hope
everyone has an opportunity to spend some time with those
they hold dear.

YOUTH EVENTS PLANNED
We have a couple of events planned for the youth of our church in the coming months:
� Sunday, December 30, there will be at “Lock-In” at GSEC. The Lazer tag event (that was
originally scheduled for November 26th) has been changed to December 30th to make one
big fun night out of both.
� Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 26 when we will be hosting an event for all GSEC
youth (and their friends) from 6—8 pm. We can’t tell you what this event will be just yet, but
watch for more information soon.
� I can tell you from my own kids experience that these events are a lot of fun, and give our
kids a chance to get to know each other better outside of their usual classes and mentoring. I
encourage all youth of the church to get involved and have some fun.
