Check out our new online communications!
Pastor Jean came back from General Synod energized about getting our church better plugged in to new technology, and now we have some "new and improved" online communications vehicles.
We have totally revamped our Facebook page ("First Congregational Church of Stoughton" -- look for our church logo). Facebook is a great way to keep in the loop and up-to-the-minute relative to our various ministries, activities and events. Check us out, and be sure to "like" us! Also, if you have any recent (i.e., less than a year old) pictures of revjeanlenk@uccstoughton.org so she can put them on our new Fb page (you might even be tagged!).
In addition, you are now reading her new blog. You can also follow her on Twitter; her handle is @jeanlenk.

SUMMER CRAFT NIGHTS
Wednesdays throughout the month of July from 7 - 9 pm
in Fellowship Hall
We had lots of fun learning how to do glass painting and "dressing up" up some terra cotta planters in different shapes and sizes.
You too can be part of the fun - we really need your ideas and creativity to make our Church Fair Craft and Christmas Room better than ever. We have glass painting and terra cot pots ready for you to begin working on - or bring your own project already in progress! We needs lots of variety.
Some other ideas - cleaning up some old mason jars and decorating them so we can add in baking ingredients, or fudge sauce, or homemade salsa.
Do you have big ol' costume jewelry pins that might make lovely kitchen magnets - bring them along - it only a little glue and magnetic strips!
Dana Barnes also hopes to host some Christmas Craft afternoons at her house (where she has tons of supplies) - stay tuned for when those will take place.
So - if you have some uniquely shaped or unused old vases, stemware, even Mason Jars, and Baby Food Jars, clean terra cotta pots that can be transformed into a treasure for someone - bring them along. If you have rub-ons and stencils you would like to donate to the cause - we would sure appreciate those as well.
You never know what you can do if you don't just give it a try. If you have other ideas please share them with the Fair Committee.
