Y Trydydd Sul ar ddeg wedi'r Drindod
Gweddi gasgl
Gregori Fawr
Dad trugarog,
a ddewisaist dy esgob Gregori
yn was i weision Duw:
caniatâ i ni, fel ef,
ddyheu’n wastadol i'th wasanaethu
drwy gyhoeddi’r efengyl i’r cenhedloedd,
a llawenhau’n wastadol wrth ganu dy glodydd;
trwy Iesu Grist dy Fab ein Harglwydd,
sydd yn fyw ac yn teyrnasu gyda thi
yn undod yr Ysbryd Glân,
yn un Duw, yn awr ac am byth.
Neges gan Esgob Bangor ac Archesgob Cymru
Annwyl gyfeillion
Mae mis Medi wedi'i ddynodi'n Fis Alzheimer y Byd ac mae'n cyd-fynd â Diwrnod Ymwybyddiaeth Alzheimer y Byd ar 21 Medi. Y nod yw codi ymwybyddiaeth a lleihau'r stigma sy'n gysylltiedig ag un o'r clefydau mwyaf heriol oll. Mae'n debygol y bydd pawb sy'n darllen hwn yn adnabod rhywun, ffrind neu aelod o'r teulu, sy'n byw gyda math o ddementia.
Mae'r Gymdeithas yn cynnal ei ddolen we yma: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk
Mae ein heglwysi wedi partneru'n dda ar wahanol adegau gyda'r rhai sydd mewn sefyllfa dda i ddarparu lle da a diogel i unrhyw un sy'n byw gyda'r clefyd. Rydym wedi cynnal caffis Dementia neu wasanaethau arbennig gyda ffocws ar gofio. Yn ei dro, rydym wedi dysgu beth mae'n ei olygu i uniaethu ag angen dynol a chael ein newid o ganlyniad. Ein cymhelliant wrth gwrs yw ein bod ni'n gwybod bod Crist yn gofalu am y rhai mwyaf bregus. Wrth wraidd yr efengyl mae'r gwirionedd mai cariad yw Duw a bod cariad yn dod o hyd i'w fynegiant ei hun mewn gwasanaeth tosturiol.
Hoffwn ganmol gwaith y Gymdeithas i chi i gyd a diolch i unrhyw un sy'n gofalu am ddioddefwyr dementia yn rhan o'u gweinidogaeth. Os ydym yn gallu partneru ag eraill neu ddatblygu gweinidogaeth ar draws nifer o Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth, byddwn yn cefnogi mentrau o'r fath yn gynnes.
Gyda dymuniadau da yng Nghrist

Beth allai eich Eglwys ei wneud ar Sul Digartrefedd?
8 Hydref 2023
Gyda nifer y bobl digartrefedd yn cynyddu'n sydyn ledled y DU ers y pandemig, mae Sul Digartrefedd eleni yn ffordd bwysig o godi ymwybyddiaeth o gyflwr hyn sydd wedi dod i'r cyrion yn ein cymdeithas, ac i fyfyrio ar yr hyn y gallwn ni fel Eglwysi a chymunedau ei wneud i helpu i leddfu problem ddifrifol iawn ar garreg ein drws.
Mae Cyfiawnder Tai yn trefnu Sul Digartrefedd ar y dydd Sul cyn Diwrnod Digartref y Byd bob blwyddyn, ac mae Sul Digartrefedd eleni yn digwydd ar yr 8fed o Hydref. Y thema yw 'Cariad a Chyfiawnder' gan fod hyn yn rhan allweddol o genhadaeth yr elusen Gristnogol Housing Justice i liniaru digartrefedd ledled Cymru. Mae'r elusen, a ffurfiwyd o uniad rhwng y Gymdeithas Tai Catholig, Clymblaid Tai Cenedlaethol yr Eglwysi a Gweithredu ar Ddigartrefedd, wedi ehangu'n aruthrol dros y tair blynedd diwethaf ac mae bellach yn cyflogi tîm ymroddedig o 13 aelod o staff ledled Cymru, ac yn rhifo cyn-Archesgob Cymru, yr Esgob John Davies, ymhlith ei Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr.
Mae'r elusen yn darparu amrywiaeth o adnoddau ar gyfer Eglwysi a grwpiau cymunedol sy'n dymuno dathlu Sul Digartrefedd gan gynnwys pregethau, gweddïau, awgrymiadau emynau, adnoddau'r Eglwys Iau, a gwybodaeth am ddigartrefedd drwy dudalen we benodol ac mae'r rhain ar gael i unrhyw un sy'n cynllunio eu gwasanaeth Sul Digartrefedd eu hunain. Efallai y byddant hefyd yn gallu darparu eich Eglwys gyda siaradwr, caniatáu capasiti. mawr ei angen, neu drwy wirfoddoli ar raglen Citadel neu fel gwesteiwr, gallwch ddarganfod mwy ar eu gwefan yma.
Dyddiadau newydd hyfforddiant diogelu
Cymuned Gristnogol iach yw un sy’n sicrhau ac yn meithrin lles pawb. Rhaid i ddiogelu fod wedi’i sefydlu ym mhob agwedd ar fywyd a gweinidogaeth yr Eglwys, ac mae hyfforddiant a datblygiad ar ddiogelu yn yr Eglwys yng Nghymru yn cael eu cyflwyno yn y cyd-destun hwn.
Mae dyddiadau newydd ar gyfer hyfforddiant diogelu ar gael ar wefan yr Eglwys yng Nghymru.

The Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
Collect
Gregory the Great
Merciful Father,
who chose your bishop Gregory
to be a servant of the servants of God:
grant that, like him,
we may ever long to serve you by proclaiming the gospel to the nations,
and may ever rejoice to sing your praises;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
A message from the Bishop of Bangor and Archbishop of Wales
Dear friends
The month of September has been designated as World Alzheimer's Month and coincides with World Alzheimer's Awareness Day on 21st September. The aim is both to raise consciousness and reduce the stigma surrounding one of the most challenging diseases of all. It's likely that everyone reading this will know someone, a friend or family member, who lives with a form of dementia.
The Society hosts its web link here: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk
Our churches have partnered well in various times with those well equipped to provide a good and safe space for anyone who lives with the disease. We have hosted Dementia cafes or special services with a focus on remembering. In turn we have learned what it means to identify with human need and be changed as a result. Our motivation of course is that we know Christ cares for the most vulnerable. At the heart of the gospel lies the truth that God is Love and that love finds its own expression in compassionate service.
I want to commend the work of the Society to you all and thank any who are making the care of dementia sufferers a part of their ministry. If we are able to partner with others or develop a ministry across a number of Ministry Areas, I would warmly support such initiatives.
With good wishes in Christ

What could your Church on Homelessness Sunday?
8 October 2023
With the number of people experiencing homelessness rising sharply around the UK since the pandemic, this year’s Homelessness Sunday is an important way to raise awareness of the plight of so many who have become marginalised in our society, and to reflect on what we as Churches and communities can do to help alleviate a very serious problem on our doorstep.
Housing Justice organises Homelessness Sunday on the Sunday before World Homeless Day each year, and this year’s Homelessness Sunday falls on 8th October. The theme is ‘Love and Justice’ as this is a key part of Christian charity Housing Justice’s mission to alleviate homelessness across Wales. The charity, which was formed from a merger between the Catholic Housing Association, The Churches National Housing Coalition and Church Action on Homelessness, has expanded dramatically over the last three year and now employs a dedicated team of 13 staff across Wales, and numbers former Archbishop of Wales, Bishop John Davies, among its Board of Trustees.
The charity provides a range of resources for Churches and community groups wishing to celebrate Homelessness Sunday including pre-recorded sermons, prayers, hymn suggestions, Junior Church resources, and information about homelessness via a dedicated webpage and these are available for anyone planning their own Homelessness Sunday service. They may also be able to provide your Church with a speaker, capacity allowing.
New dates for Safeguarding training
A healthy Christian community is one which ensures and nurtures the wellbeing of all. Safeguarding needs to be embedded in all aspects of the life and ministry of the Church, and safeguarding training and development at the Church in Wales is delivered in this context.
The new dates available for attending Safeguarding training are on the Church in Wales' website.
