- **Event Name**: Reckoning with ELPC’s Tie to Enslavement
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Jun, 2025 at 11:15 am
- **Event Description**: In 2022, our church family learned that one of our most revered founders and donors enslaved and sold two women, Nell and Poll, in the early 1800s. Over the past year, a small team of ELPCers has sought to learn more about these women and their lives–who were they beyond the scant details in the dehumanizing 1808 bill of sale?

Join the Facing Systemic Racism Committee after 10 am worship in the Social Hall on Sunday, June 29 for a presentation on what we have learned about Nell, Poll, and their family, and for a time of discussion and reflection on what we must do to reckon with this part of our church’s legacy.

A light lunch will be provided.
