“Edrychwych, rwyf yn gwneud peth newydd; y mae’n tarddu yn awr; oni allwch ei adnabod?”

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”

Eseia/Isaiah 43:19

Neges gan Richard ❖ Richard’s Message There’s a famous story in the 1st Book of Kings where God’s Prophet, Elijah, who is having a really hard time, is sent by God into the wilderness to learn how to be more dependent on Him.

He is sent to meet a widow at Zarapheth who, because of a drought, has “only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug,” and tells him that she is preparing a meal for herself and her son “that we may eat it - and die.”

It’s an awful situation; all seems lost.

But Elijah tells her to first make him some food, because ‘the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’

She does; and it doesn’t.

God miraculously, generously, and abundantly provides, saving them.

We see this aspect of God’s character throughout Scripture; manna in the desert, Jesus turning water into wine, feeding the 5,000... But sometimes that generosity looks a bit, well, odd.

In this story there is only ever a handful of flour and a little olive oil. It doesn’t suddenly multiply into jar upon jar and jug upon jug, overflowing before their eyes. Rather, every time the widow returned to make food, there was only a little. She, and they, had to continue to add their faith and trust, even as God was keeping His promise.

Mae ‘na stori yn Llyfr 1af Brenhinoedd lle mae Duw yn anfon Elias, sy’n cael amser anodd, i’r anialwch, i ddysgu sut i fod yn fwy dibynnol arno Ef.

Fe’i hanfonir i gyfarfod â gweddw yn Sareffath sydd, oherwydd sychder, wedi cael “dim ond llond dwrn o beilliad yn y celwrn a diferyn o olew yn y stên,” ac yn dweud wrtho ei bod hi'n paratoi pryd iddi hi a'i mab er mwyn “i fwyta, ac yna trengi.”

Mae'n sefyllfa ofnadwy; oes gobaith?

Ond mae Elias yn dweud wrthi am wneud rhywfaint o fwyd iddo fe yn gyntaf, oherwydd “nid â’r celwrn beilliad yn wag na’r stên olew yn sych hyd y dydd y bydd yr Arglwydd yn rhoi glaw ar y tir.”

Mae’n gwneud; ac nid â’n wag.

Mae Duw yn wyrthiol, yn hael, ac yn helaeth yn darparu, ac yn eu hachub.

Rydym yn gweld yr agwedd hon o gymeriad Duw trwy’r Ysgrythurau; manna yn yr anialwch, Iesu yn troi dŵr yn win, bwydo’r 5,000... Ond mae’r haelioni weithiau yn edrych yn od.

Dim ond llond llaw o flawd ac ychydig o olew olewydd sydd yn y stori hon. Nid yw’n lluosi i jar ar ôl jar a jwg ar ôl jwg, yn gorlifo o flaen eu llygaid. Yn hytrach, bob tro mae’r weddw yn mynd i wneud bwyd, dim ond ychydig oedd. Roedd hi, a hwy, yn gorfod parhau i ychwanegu eu ffydd a’u hyder nhw tra oedd Duw yn cadw ei addewid Ef.

Please pray for the Beach Mission Team as they prepare to come and share the good news of Jesus with the people they meet!

We are about to receive an abundant, generous gift of God in Sara. She comes to us with skills and abilities and, more importantly, God’s calling on her life. But I think that this gift is like that story. God isn’t saying, ‘here you are, Bro Madryn, it’s all sorted for you now. Sit back and relax.’ Far from it! As Sara ministers alongside us all, we must be thankful for the gift, but continue to add our faith and trust in God’s gracious provision. He is all we need to do what He has set before us: the duty and joy of sharing the Good News of Jesus with the people of this area.

Let’s go for it!

Rydyn ni ar fin derbyn anrheg helaeth o Dduw yn Sara. Mae hi'n dod atom ni â sgiliau a galluoedd ac, yn bwysicach fyth, galwad Duw ar ei bywyd. Ond credaf fod yr anrheg hwn fel y stori honno. Nid yw Duw yn dweud, ‘dyna chi, Bro Madryn, mae popeth ar eich cyfer. Eisteddwch ac ymlaciwch.’ Dim o gwbl! Rhaid inni fod yn ddiolchgar am yr anrheg, ac fel y bydd Sara yn gweinyddu ochr yn ochr â ni, rhaid i ni barhau i ychwanegu ein ffydd a'n hyder yn Nuw. Ef yw popeth sydd ei angen arnom er mwyn rhannu Newyddion Da am Iesu gyda phobl yr ardal hon.

Gadewch i ni fynd amdani!

Gyda phob bendith,

Gweithgareddau Rheolaidd

Grwpiau Cartref / Home Groups

Mae darllen y Beibl gyda'i gilydd a rhannu cymrodoriaeth yn un o

falchder bod yn rhan o'r Eglwys - ond mae hefyd yn ffordd dda iawn o weld eich ffydd yn tyfu! Mae ein Grwpiau Cartref yn cwrdd yn y bore ar ddyddiau Mawrth a gyda'r nos ar ddyddiau Iau.

Os hoffech chi fod yn rhan o un ohonynt, cysylltwch â Richard.

Reading the Bible together and sharing fellowship is one of the joys of being part of the

Church - but it’s also a really good way to see your faith grow!

Our Home Groups meet on Tuesday mornings or Thursday evenings. If you’d like to be part of one, please get in touch with Richard.

When, just over two years ago, we decided to stop using Botwnnog Church on Sundays, it seemed that something which God had been growing and preparing in the hearts of a few people had found an opportunity to burst into bloom.

Eglwys y Bont / The Bridge Church, a gathering of Christians in Abersoch with a heart and passion to share the Good News of Jesus with that village, was born.

Over those two years, they have offered a wonderful range of fun and imaginative ways for people in Abersoch to ‘dip their toes’ into our faith. And, after trying a couple of different options, they have found a place to call ‘home’ for their informal, bilingual Sunday afternoon worship services; Capel Calfaria, the Baptist Chapel on Maes Gwydryn.

With Abersoch being in the Bro Enlli Ministry Area, the Curate based in Aberdaron, Naomi Starkey, has helped lead them on their adventure so far.

Now that Naomi Starkey is moving to a new Ministry Area on Anglesey (and we pray for God’s abundant blessing on her and Daniel as they move!), Bishop Andy, Archdeacon Andrew, and Richard have agreed, with the support of The Bridge Church, that it was a good match with Bro Madryn, and should be part of us.

So we welcome Eglwys y Bont to Bro Madryn!

The Ministry Area Council agreed to this in their last meeting, acknowledging that they will take a full place in the life of our family; having a place on the MAC, being included in the thinking and planning of our Ministry Team, being part of our united finances, and being included in all of our ministry (Pastoral Care, Teulu Madryn etc.). This young, new expression of Church is a cause for great joy, and warrants our love and support. Croeso a phob bendith!
