Join us Sunday as we welcome Laurie Lafromboise

About Laurie:
I’m an elder at Amberlea church in Pickering, so Rev Mona is my minister. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for 38 years. We have been blessed with two grown sons. Lots to forgive on so many levels for both of us!
For over 20 years I worked as a mental health professional doing case management and short-term counseling, including during Covid.
I completed an MTS in counseling at Tyndale, to compliment my work in mental health. Tyndale presented an incredible opportunity to grow in my faith and to grow professionally. Although I grew up in a different denomination I always turned to God through prayer for guidance. Regular bible study became a part of my life before Tyndale but was strengthened there.

Join us as we explore forgiveness on both sides, as both the forgiven and the forgiver. We will look at some of the different elements of forgiveness/forgiving. God forgiving us, but also us forgiving others and some of the many challenges that come with that. Laurie will speak partly from biblical references and partly from personal experience. Life is very complex and “just forgive and forget” is not always reasonable nor acceptable. The struggle what can come from trying to forgive what some feel is unforgivable.
