BFO - HALTON PEEL EVENTS:

Share and Support night
"The Power of Remembering"
Guest Speaker: Reverend Jamie Holtom

Jamie Holtom is a United Church minister in Brampton where he has been part of the leadership of a growing faith community for almost ten years. Jamie and his wife Katrina lost their first child Lucas back in July 2000 during the Pine Lake tornado that hit down near Red Deer, Alberta. Part of their healing has been to continue to remember Lucas and to celebrate his life.

When we lose someone we love one of our biggest fears is that they will be forgotten. We want desperately to remember them. And so we should. In face there are very real and practical ways that we can do that very thing. We can also help others remember and honour their loved ones. Come and remember.

Note: If you remember, please bring a favourite photo of your loved one.

Date: Tuesday June 3, 7:00 -8:30 PM
Location: BFO Halton-Peel Office: 6700 Century Ave. Suite 204
Please RSVP by May 22 at 905-813-4337 or programming@bereavedfamilies.ca
