Cymdeithas Hanes Llambed

The first meeting of Cymdeithas Hanes Llambed in the 2017/8 year will take place on Tuesday, 19 September, in the Old Hall of Trinity St David’s Lampeter campus, at 7.30pm.

The speaker opening the new season is Marc Lucas, the curator of the National Woollen Museum at Drefach Felindre.

His subject title is Brethyn Llwyd: the Welsh Woollen Industry in World War One.

This is an interesting and important subject during this current time when there is such great public attention being given to matters relating to the 1914-18 War.

In 1914 David Lloyd George spoke of the importance of Wales having a Welsh army corps with its own unique and highly identifiable uniform of Welsh Grey of Brethyn Llwyd cloth.

Hence, the subject of the talk is in the forefront of matters to do with Welsh military forces during the war years.

St Peter’s Church

SUNDAY, 17 September: 8am, Holy Communion in English; 10.30am, Morning Worship (bilingual).

Ramblers

On Saturday, 9 September 14 hardy ramblers met on a wet and windy morning at the entrance to Brechfa forest near the trig point above New Inn.

The walk was run by Gwyneth Alban and Ann Phillips who had previously reconnoitred the walk twice in wet weather.

Walks are run every Saturday starting at 10am from the Rookery car park in Lampeter.

Noddfa

Cynhaliwyd Oedfa’r Eisteddfod eleni yn Noddfa a braf oedd gweld tyrfa luosog iawn wedi dod ynghyd o eglwysi Llambed a’r cylch.

Croesawyd pawb gan Llinos, cyn mynd ymlaen i gyhoeddi’r emyn gyntaf. Cymerwyd at y rhannau arweiniol gan Delyth a Densil. Cyhoeddwyd yr ail emyn gan Ffion a’r un olaf gan Lowri Elen a chafwyd deuawd swynol gan Elan a Sioned gyda Janet yn cyfeilio.

Cyflwynwyd ein gweinidog gwadd, sef y Parch John Talfryn Jones, Rhydaman, gan Llinos. Ef yw llywydd Undeb Bedyddwyr Cymru ar hyn o bryd. Hyfryd oedd cael cwmni ei briod Einir gyda ni.

Diolchodd yntau am y gwahoddiad a’r fraint o gael pregethu ar achlysur mor arbennig yn hanes yr Eisteddfod a thalodd deyrnged uchel i’r bobol ifanc oedd wedi cymryd rhan yn yr oedfa.

Cyhoeddodd y Gair gydag arddeliad ac erys ei neges yn y cof am amser hir.

Gwasanaethwyd wrth yr organ gan Ann Morgan.

Diolchodd Alun i’r gweinidog am ei gyfraniad a datganodd ei werthfawrogiad hefyd i’r rhai oedd wedi cyflawni eu gwaith mor raenus yn ystod yr oedfa, i Delyth am ei chymorth arbennig gyda’r offer technegol ac i bawb am eu rhoddion hael tuag at Gymorth Cristnogol.

Cafwyd canu gorfoleddus o’r emyn dôn Pantyfedwen i orffen, gyda phawb wrth droi tuag adre yn datgan mai da oedd cael dod at ein gilydd i addoli mewn oedfa arbennig iawn.
