JMA
(Junior Mission for All)
is one way that the young people can be involved in some of the great work of the Methodist Church.  The JMA promise is to learn, pray and serve with the worldwide Church of Jesus Christ.

Learn:  by reading the Rainbow magazine which all members
              receive free and by joining in the activities in your church.
Pray:    for the people that you have learnt about.
Serve:  by collecting money from friends at church and others.
