Heb ei fai, heb ei eni He who has no faults is not born.

Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon A nation without a language is a nation without a

heart.

I was asked a few weeks ago to write a diary of a typical week. Well I don’t have typical weeks but I’ve taken a

week from October this year. Every week is different but here is a

snapshot of what happens in my life in a 7 day period.

This is an edited copy of my weekly diary so there are other things

apart from work in here too. I have also taken all the names of people out. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Yours, in his service,

Siôn.

I sometimes wonder why we buy into the consumer culture. It encourages us to spend money, rather than time, it encourages

us to have stuff rather than relationships, we are told that its better for us if the economy grows that is better for us. A good,

healthy economy is needed, but when is enough, enough?

Jesus said: I have come so you can have all the stuff you want, bigger better and more of it…oh no, hang on, Jesus said: 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and

destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. (John 10:10 NRSV)

Sometimes, sadly, we allow stuff to rob us of who Jesus wants us to be, connected to

one another, connected to others and connected to God.

Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar whilst still whisking, until the mixture is no longer gritty.

Place a piece of baking paper on a microwave proof plate. Spread the meringue evenly into a rectangular shape, approx. 2cm thick. Cook in the microwave on high for 3 min (1000watt) or 4 min (850 watt), remove

and allow to cool. Spread 1/3 cream down half the meringue (longest edge) and scatter ½ the

raspberries on top of the cream, then cover these raspberries with another 1/3 of the cream.

Holding the baking paper closest to the filled side, roll over to form a log and slide

onto a serving plate. Spread the log with the remaining cream and scatter with the remainder of the

raspberries.

Refigerate before serving. Hwyl fawr,

Faith and hope

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. ~ Bernard Williams

There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. ~ Leonard Cohen

Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever

dies. ~ Stephen King

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope

and confidence. ~ Helen Keller

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden

behind us. ~ Samuel Smiles

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. ~ Saint Augustine

Together with carmel church

On Sunday, October 20, a good contingent of some 22 from the Melbourne Welsh Church hopped on a mini bus bound for Ballarat to meet up with members and friends

of our sister church, Carmel Church, Sebastopol.

Arriving at Lake Wendouree near 11:00am we gathered with our Ballarat friends for a

brief service led by Tony Williams, the interim pastor at Carmel. Singing and worshipping in the open air was a wonderful experience.

Half the combined group then boarded the paddle boat, the Golden City, for an hour lunch cruise on the lake whilst the rest had a cuppa at a nearby café and a stroll before it was their turn for the cruise.

There was time for some catching up and fellowship before heading for home.

Our thanks go to all who helped organise the day, Tony for leading the service and

Peter Whitefield for being our capable bus driver.

Thanks also to Geraint Griffiths and David Rees for ‘holding the fort’ back in Melbourne

by leading the 11:00am service.

A great day was held by all.

News from the pews

As I prepared to burst in to print with this edition of News From The Pews on

October 19 , the latest edition of Escape to The Country on Channel 7 confronted me. It featured a segment on mussel

farming offshore from the village of Lleweni in the vicinity of Denbeigh , North Wales. There are now fewer than 10 mussel rakers/fishermen /harvesters there - down from a hundred or so

not that long ago. This segment of the show is always worth viewing as ones general knowledge is always expanded by the information absorbed.

Last month I wrote a few lines about Brad. and the Rev. Sarah Bishop and daughter Olivia who are worshipping in our midst. It came to pass that the Rev. Sarah was guest preacher at the service on Sunday, October 13. - and it was a privilege to sit there and

listen to the lady address us! Husband Brad was in the USA presumably on US Consulate duties.

Recent visitors to our wonderful Sanctuary and historic complex have included the following- Delyth Evans and Hugh Jenkins, both from Bristol, England; Autley and Kathy Newton, Hamond, LA, USA; Craig Bauldine, Polo, Illinois, USA; originally from

Tony Pandy, de Cumru; Lesley and Handel Walter, Llandeilo, Cymru; Rae and Clive Davies, Troedrhiwgwair, South Wales; Elizabeth Rowe and Gerald Thomas, Tredeager,

also South Wales; Olwen and Dan Jones, Cymru; Chen Xipo Piang, China; Sini Kim, in our fair city for a month, from Korea - working. Mary Richardson, Karikeri New Zealand; Michael Jones, Caerdydd, Wales; Vince. Llewelyn and Ben.Hepworth, South

Yarra, ex-pats from Ammanford, Wales, and Glastonbury, England, respectively ; Ruth and Mike. Bradley, Blaxland, NSW; back again were the Rev. Sydney Green and wife Jaquie, Adelaide - ex pats from Rhyl, Gogledd Cymru ; Gwenfair and Teilo Griffith,

Sydney, NSW ; Michael Fernandez, Mandurah, Western Australia and lastly back with us for a month or so from her Singapore home is Ruby, sister of church regular

Maureen Ow.

The above-signed and wife Janet returned recently from a five week dog sit at the

Uniting Church Manse, Woodville, suburban Adelaide, South Australia. While there we also worshipped amongst friends previously made while on a 'sit' for the same minister, the Rev. Alan Biglow and wife Lee at the Enfied UC Manse. Unfortunately, we

also endured the funeral of one of those friends who lived alone and was discovered dead on her floor.

I close with a brief mention of our Church Connexion visit to Ballarat on October 20. Twenty one of us left Latrobe Street in a hired mini coach piloted very capably by our Presence

Minister Peter Whitefield. An outdoors act of worship led by Moderator of The Connexion, Michael Glare took place in

bleak but fortunately rain free conditions at the lake - Wendouree. There we were joined by members of the Carmel Welsh Presbyterian Church, Sebastopol. The

gathering then boarded a vessel for a cruise on the lake during which an enjoyable lunch was served.

Blessed are those who can laugh at

themselves; they will have no end of fun.

Blessed are those who can tell a mountain from

a molehill; they will be saved a lot of bother.

Blessed are those who know how to relax without looking for excuses; they are on their way to becoming wise.

Blessed are those who are sane enough not to take themselves too seriously;

they will be valued most by those about them.

Happy are you if you can take small things

seriously and face serious things calmly;

you will go far in life.

Happy are you if you can appreciate a smile

and forget a frown; you will walk on the sunny side of the street.

Happy are you if you can be kind in understanding the attitudes of others even when the signs are unfavourable;

you may be taken for a fool, but this is the price of charity.

Blessed are those who think before acting and pray before thinking; they will avoid many blunders.

Happy are you if you know how to hold your tongue and smile,

even when people interrupt and contradict you or tread on your toes; the Gospel has begun to seep into your heart.

Above all,

blessed are you who recognise the Lord in all whom you meet; the light of truth shines in your life

for you have found true wisdom.

Strata Florida Abbey (Welsh: Abaty Ystrad Fflur) is a former

Cistercian abbey situated just outside Pontrhydfendigaid, near Tregaron in the county of Ceredigion, Wales. The abbey was founded in 1164. "Strata Florida" is a Latinisation of

the Welsh Ystrad Fflur; "Valley of Flowers". The Welsh word ystrad is synonymous with "strath" and "dale", while fflur ("flower") is also the name of the nearby river. After the region around St Davids was firmly occupied by the Norman Marcher lordship

of Pembroke by the early 12th century, with St Davids firmly under Norman influence thereafter, the princely Dinefwr family of Deheubarth transferred their patronage to Strata Florida, and interred many of their family members there.

The site was designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1919 and is now in the care of Cadw. It has a variety of ruins. The only substantive structure remaining of the

monastery is the main entrance archway. The Great West Door to the Abbey Church has low walls marking the extent of the church and its six subsidiary chapels. A modern roof

protects an area of excavated work medieval tiling. The small on-site museum has some of these tiles on display. One of the best-known is one depicting a medieval gentleman admiring himself in a mirror.

Beginning in 1539, Henry VIII used his dissatisfaction with the Catholic Church in Rome to dissolve and sack the monasteries of England and

Wales. Strata Florida Abbey was dissolved in 1539 by church commissioners. The buildings and their

contents were valued and then sold off. The church and most of the ancillary buildings were demolished for building materials such as the window glass and

stone as well as the roof tiles and lead. However, the refectory and dormitory were rebuilt as Ty Abaty, a house for the local gentry. The property has been

owned by a number of notable families including the Steadmans and the Powells of Nanteos. Much of the

former monastic lands of the Cistercian abbey at Strata Florida were given to Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex who sold them on to Sir John Vaughan,

of Trawsgoed. Through his marriage to Jane Stedman, daughter of John Stedman of Ystrad Fflur and Cilcennin, he gained more land on which to create the large Trawsgoed estate. The graveyard next to the Abbey ruins is

still used for burials. A memorial to the Welsh language poet, Dafydd ap Gwilym, who is interred here is next to an ancient yew tree. A stone memorial in the Chapter

House commemorates the princes who are buried at Strata Florida. It is a replica; the original is housed in the site's small museum.

The site was designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1919 and is now in the

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock and officially gazetted as Uluru / Ayers Rock, is a

large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice

Springs.

Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves

and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. The local Anangu, the Pitjantjatjara people, call the landmark Uluṟu . This

word is a proper noun, with no further particular meaning in the Pitjantjatjara dialect, although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru.

On 19 July 1873, the surveyor William Gosse sighted the landmark and named it Ayers Rock in honour of the then Chief Secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Since then, both names have been used. In 1993, a dual naming policy was adopted that

allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name and the English name. On 15 December 1993, it was renamed "Ayers Rock / Uluru" and became the first official dual-named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual

names was officially reversed to "Uluru / Ayers Rock" on 6 November 2002 following a request from the Regional Tourism Association in Alice Springs.

Uluru is one of Australia's most recognisable natural landmarks. The sandstone formation stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high, rising 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level with most of its bulk lying underground, and has a total circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 mi). Both Uluru

and the nearby Kata Tjuta formation have great cultural significance for the Aṉangu people, the traditional inhabitants of the area, who lead walking tours to inform visitors

about the local flora and fauna, bush food and the Aboriginal dreamtime stories of the area.

Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year,

most notably when it glows red at dawn and sunset.

Kata Tjuta, also called Mount Olga or the Olgas, lies 25 km (16 mi) west of Uluru. Special viewing areas with road access and parking have been constructed to give

tourists the best views of both sites at dawn and dusk.

Between 1918 and 1921, large adjoining areas of South Australia, Western Australia, and

the Northern Territory were declared as Aboriginal reserves, sanctuaries for nomadic people who had virtually no contact with European settlers. In 1920, part of Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park was declared an Aboriginal Reserve by the Australian government

under the Aboriginals Ordinance.

The Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park, now a World Heritage Site, attracts up to 500,000 visitors each year.

Just for fun

A trooper pulls over a priest and immediately smells alcohol on his breath. The next thing

he notices is an empty wine bottle lying on the passenger seat.

“Have you been drinking?” the officer asks.

“Just water,” says the priest.

“Then why do I smell wine?”

The priest looks at the bottle and shouts, “Good Lord! He’s done it again!”

Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories. She was

puzzled by Kyle's picture, which showed four people on an airplane, so she asked him which

story it was meant to represent.

"The flight to Egypt," said Kyle.

"I see ... And that must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus," Ms. Terri said.

"But who's the fourth person?"

"Oh, that's Pontius-the Pilot.

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. They

discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. The first

said: "I built a big house for our mother."

The second said: "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."

The third said: "You remember how

our mother enjoys reading the Bible. Now she can't see very well. So I sent

her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. Mama

just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks.

"Milton," she said, "the house you built is so huge. I live only in one room, but I have to clean the whole

house.

"Gerald," she said, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes.

And that driver is so rude! He's a pain!"

"But Donald," she said, "the little

chicken you sent was delicious!"

A minister parked his car in a no- parking zone in a large city because

he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a metre. So he put a

note under the windscreen wiper that read: "I have circled the block 100 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my

appointment. FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES."

When he returned, he found a ticket from a police officer along with this note. "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION."

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just

thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that

Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.

"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.

"Yes, that was it!"

"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!"

"Oh, I don't think this book would have been

worth anything close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the

margins by some guy named Martin Luther."
