Netflix Watch Party - Friday, July 24, 6:30 pm

Let's watch a movie together! Join your church family online for a Netflix watch party on Friday, July 24, at 6:30 pm. We'll be watching "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." Netflix watch party allows people to watch "together" - each from their own home. We'll all be watching at the exact same time and will have the capability of chatting with one another as the movie plays.

In order to watch along, you MUST register for the event. You'll be asked for an email address. This is the address that you will be sent the link to join the watch party at 6:30 pm on Friday, July 24. (You will not get the link in advance.) In addition, you must have a Netflix account, and you must download the watch party app prior to the event. (Please note that I will not be able to provide technical assistance for this activity.)

All the information you need to join is at this website (instructions and tutorials are provided):
