Dear Block of Wood Confirmation Class,

Thank you so much for registering to be part of First Community's Block of Wood Confirmation program!

As you know, we were scheduled to begin our class together this Sunday, March 29. However, due to the current COVID-19 circumstances, this spring's Block of Wood program is being postponed. We will make a decision for our new class dates when we receive clear direction that it is safe to gather.

If you are not already connected to our youth ministry program, I invite you to join us for our many virtual gatherings. Up next is our Netflix Party this coming Sunday evening! Read the details below. I've also included information on how follow us on social media. We post silly videos, encouragement, challenges, and announcements.

I hope and pray your family is well. Block of Wood Confirmation is a long-standing and meaningful tradition at First Community. I look forward to being a part of this tradition with each of you.

Grace and peace,

Susan Langner
Minister to Youth

Join us for a Netflix Watch Party this Sunday!
Netflix offers an amazing tool for us to gather at the same time to watch the same movie from our very own homes. It's called Netflix Party, and as the party host, I will have control over when the movie starts, stops, and pauses. All participants can view from a laptop or desktop computer. Everyone can participate in a live chat that appears in a comment thread on the side of our screens.

Here are the details:

Movie: Hook!

Date & Time: Sunday, March 29 at 7 pm (log-in beginning at 6:30)

What you'll need:
Set this up a day in advance so you're ready to join us when the movie starts.

  • A desktop or laptop computer. You'll view the movie from the computer instead of your tv.
  • A Netflix account. I believe Netflix is offering a free 30-day trial for new subscribers.
  • A Google Chrome extension (free). To add it, follow these instructions:
  1. Visit netflixparty.com on your Google Chrome browser.
  2. Click Get Netflix Party for free.
  3. You'll be redirected to the Google Chrome web store page to download the extension. Click Add to Chrome.
  4. A pop-up box will open. Select Add Extension. You'll now see a gray "NP" (Netflix Party) icon in your browser toolbar. 

How to join:
  • I will send a link via email on Sunday just before 6:30 pm. When you copy and paste the link into your Google browser, it will bring you into the movie & chat room.
  • In the upper right corner of the movie screen you'll see your assigned chat icon. Click on the icon to add your name. Say hi to the others gathering, chat during the movie, and enjoy! The movie will begin at 7.
