Cymanfa Ganu Dosbarth Tabor
Ar ddydd Sul braf o wanwyn, sef 20 Mai, cynhaliwyd y Gymanfa yn Gosen, Rhydyfelin.
Yr arweinyddes wadd eleni oedd Catrin Hughes, Llanelli.
Parch Nicholas Bee gymerodd at lywyddu oedfa’r prynhawn, a hynny ar fyr rybudd gan fod Rhiannon Salisbury yn methu dod oherwydd anhwylder.
Estynnodd y Parch Bee groeso cynnes i bawb a galwodd ar dair o ferched Ysgol Sul Tabor i ddechrau’r oedfa sef Nia Lewis, Beca Lewis a Megan Davies.
Gwnaeth y merched eu gwaith yn ardderchog.
Estynnodd y gweinidog groeso i’r arweinyddes a chyflwyno’r oedfa fawl i’w gofal.
Yn ei ffordd unigryw anwylodd Catrin at y plant a chafodd o’u gorau.
Mwynhaodd y plant anerchiad y Gweinidog ar y Pentecost.
Anerchiad pwrpasol iawn a hithau’n Sul y Pentecost.
Organyddes y prynhawn oedd Nia Jones, Gosen.
Gwahoddwyd pawb i’r Festri i gael gwledd o fwyd wedi ei baratoi gan wragedd Gosen.
Am 6yh cafwyd Cymanfa yr Oedolion o dan lywyddiaeth y gweinidog.
Cafwyd anerchiad yn llawn atgofion am Gapel Gosen gan Peter Rees, Llygad y fro, Rhydyfelin.
Organyddes yr hwyr oedd Nesta Parry Edwards, Gosen.
Talwyd gair o werthfawrogiad gan Susan Jones, Tabor.
Gwerthfawrogwyd yn fawr arweinyddion y rihyrsals sef Beti Wyn Emanuel a Judith Jones, ynghyd â’r organyddion.
Ffrwyth llafur y rihyrsals sy’n gwneud Cymanfa lwyddiannus.
Diolchwyd i Catrin Hughes am ei harweiniad medrus yn y ddwy oedfa, i’r llywyddion sef y Parch Bee a Peter Rees, i’r dair a ddechreuodd oedfa’r prynhawn ac Judith Jones a Beryl Jones am baratoi’r plant.
Diolchwyd hefyd i Jane Hughes (mam Catrin) am ddod a rhai o’i disgyblion canu i chwyddo nifer y plant; i wragedd Gosen am baratoi gwledd o fwyd i bawb rhwng y ddwy oedfa, am y blodau a oedd yn harddu’r cysegr; ac i’r cyfeillion o gapeli a’r dosbarthiadau eraill a ddaeth i gynorthwyo, ac felly sicrhau Cymanfa ardderchog.
Casglyddion y ddwy oedfa oedd Brenda Baigent a Brinley Davies.
Traddodwyd y fendith yn y ddwy oedfa gan y Parch Bee.
