Go to All Peoples Everywhere The Methodist Church began to send missionaries overseas just 200 years ago. The anniversary was celebrated last month at an outdoor event attended by 15,000 people at Trentham Gardens, Stoke-on-Trent.
The climax of the day's celebration was a service to commission eight missionaries for their work overseas. The preacher was Dr Philip Potter , and the service of Holy Communion was presided over by the The Rev Christopher Hughes Smith.
Dr Colin Morris introduces this morning's act of worship, in which the hymns are:
0 for a thousand tongues; Jesus is Lord!; Lord, thy church on earth; Thine be the glory

Cliff Michelmore travels to Launceston in Cornwall to visit Charles Causley , the poet. Charles has lived and worked in Launceston for most of his life and has taught generations of Launceston families. He was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for his poetry, which frequently reflects religious themes: 'All creative writing, all works of art are a kind of hymn in praise of the Almighty.'
Charles's choice of hymns is sung in the parish church of St Mary Magdalene in Launceston, and includes
'Christ whose glory fills the skies', 'Three masts' and 'For all the saints', sung by the choir of Queen's College,
Taunton, and the choir of the parish church.

This moving drama, filmed in Tunisia, stars Henry Thomas , the talented star of Steven Spielberg 's E. T. Still grieving after the recent death of his wife, Ned immerses himself in his work and unthinkingly neglects the needs of his two sons
Miles and Andrew. Ned's best friend, Will, tells him he's too strict with the boys and that he expects too much of them. Ned treats 8-year-old Andrew - the elder - as an 'adult' and places him in the care of a governess. But the child needs more than a tutor; he needs the unashamed love of his father.
