When? Locally agreed date (often in the autumn)
The JMA Commissioning Service provides an opportunity to acknowledge the particular contribution of JMA groups and reflect more widely on how we share in God’s mission for the sake of the world.
Certificates and badges are usually presented to JMA collectors at this service, while also acknowledging the work of the JMA secretary and celebrating the work that all their fundraising enables.
Don’t have any JMA collectors?
You can still use the suggested bible readings, prayers, worship songs and activities in an act of worship to tell the story of the Mission in Britain Fund and World Mission Fund. Find out more about the funds.
The suggested hymns/worship songs, prayers and bible readings encourage us to Love One Another as we live out ‘Caring for ourselves and those around us’ (A Methodist Way of Life commitments).
