Rhydfendigaid

AR fore Sul, 21 Ebrill, cynhaliwyd Gwasanaeth Sul y Pasg gan ddisgyblion yr Ysgol Sul yn y capel.

Roedd yn braf gweld tyrfa deilwng wedi troi allan a chroesawodd Neli Jones bawb i’r oedfa.

Cymerwyd rhan gan Rhiannon, Emrys, Buddug ac Anest Jones, Delun a Guto Davies, Gwenno Humphreys, Cai a Jess Owen, Gwawr a Iestyn Jenkins, Megan a Mari Herberts, Gethin a Gwenno Fflur Evans, Caru Hunt, Saran a Mati Cerith, Ianto a Steffan Wilcocks, Elen Hughes a Rhys Williams.

Roedd yn hyfryd cael cwmni Anni a Ffredi Ebenezer, Mari Wyn Hughes, Alun Humphreys, Dwynwen Jones, Cari Davies ac Elan Haf Williams hefyd.

Gwnaed casgliad tuag at Gymorth Cristnogol gan Gwawr a Saran, a diolchwyd i bawb gan Jean Williams.

Roedd y Parch Lewis Wyn Daniel wedi cofio am y plant eleni eto, ac wedi anfon wyau Pasg i’w rhannu iddynt ar ddiwedd yr oedfa.

Cynhaliwyd Ffair Wanwyn lwyddiannus iawn yn Festri Rhydfendigaid o dan adain Cymdeithas y Chwiorydd fore Sadwrn, 13 Ebrill.

Roedd tyrfa dda wedi dod ynghyd a chafwyd llawer o hwyl yn cymdeithasu o amgylch y byrddau.

Y g?r gwadd oedd un o gyn-aelodau ffyddlon Rhydfendigaid, sef John Meredith, Blaenpennal, gynt o Strata House a Dyffryn Tawel.

Cyflwynwyd ef gan lywydd Cymdeithas y Chwiorydd, Neli Jones a chafwyd gan John ei atgofion pan yn blentyn ac yn oedolyn ifanc ym mhentre’r Bont.

Cafwyd aml i stori ddifyr ganddo. Roedd yn braf cael cwmni ei briod, Tegwen, yn ogystal â’i ffrind bore oes, Gareth Huws (Siop y Bakery gynt) a’i briod Morfudd, a oedd wedi dod fyny o Bentyrch.

Cyflwynwyd blodau fel gwerthfawrogiad i Tegwen ar ran y Chwiorydd gan Jên Ebenezer, a diolchodd Neli Jones i John am ei anerchiad ac am ei rodd hael tuag at y gronfa.

Tynnwyd y raffl, a’r enillwyr oedd: Raffl fawr – Gwenda Thomas, D J Tyres, Llion Jones, Thomas Price, Megan Herberts, Rosie Herberts, Mair Owen, James Evans, Alan T? Pella, Mair Botwood, Huw Evans, Lisa Owen, Lili Fflur a Ifan Pugh; Raffl Pengraig – Ifan Davies, Gwen Herberts, John Meredith, Joan Davies, Mair Lloyd, Merfyn Botwood a Ceinwen Goodwin; dyfalu pwysau’r gacen – Ann Jones.

Dydd Sul, 28 Ebrill, cynhaliwyd y Gymanfa Ganu yng Nghapel Bwlchgwynt, Tregaron a bu rhai o blant yr Ysgol Sul, sef Gwenno, Lleucu, Cain, Buddug ac Anest yn mwynhau ymuno yn y canu o dan arweiniad Gwyneth Davies, gyda athrawes yr Ysgol Sul, Neli Jones yn cyfeilio.
