2019 Film Festival | Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
July 14, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
This documentary paints a portrait of the philosophy and work of cardigan-wearing children’s entertainer Fred Rogers, star of the popular show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
A former minister, Fred Rogers creatively communicated themes of empathy and acceptance, race relations, kindness, and tolerance using a colorful cast of puppets and friends for more than 30 years.
Along with archival footage, Rogers’ contemporaries and cast-mates reflect on his legacy.

About the 2019 Summer Film Festival
Each year, the ELPC Mission Board and Mission Committees sponsor and host a summer film series. This year’s themes are a continuation of our ongoing focus on facing systemic racism. Everyone is invited to stay after worship on Sundays, July 14, August 4, and August 18, and join us in the Good Samaritan Room to view the movies, discuss the themes, and enjoy a light lunch together.
