It is with heavy hearts we announce that Commissioner Lorraine Bamford has been Promoted to Glory.

We thank God for her faithful service, steadfast commitment to His calling, and the lasting impact of her ministry within The Salvation Army.

May we find comfort in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, and may her legacy of faithfulness continue to inspire generations to come.
