## **Adroddiad Blynyddol Bro Ystumanner** **`☩` 2024** **`☩` Bro Ystumanner Annual Report** 

## _Annwyl Cyd-bererinion ym Mro Ystumanner_ ☩ _Dear Fellow Pilgrims in Bro Ystumanner,_ 

Back at the start Advent way back in 1990, the late Rev Canon Professor Gareth Lloyd Jones walked to the lectern of the Chapel of St Michael’s Theological College, Llandaff, Cardiff (now called St Padarn’s), paused, looked around the eager theological students in front of him - all of whom were in training for ordained ministry - and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?”. He then repeated the phrase, slowly, 2 more times. 

God asked these questions to Elijah at around the mid-point of his ministry (1 Kings 19.13). God had been working through Elijah and still needed him to do more work for him to help the people of Israel see their God. 

Helping other people to see God. 

For us in Bro Ystumanner this year, it is important to remind ourselves why we are here and what we are for. There has - wholly understandably - been so much to distract us from our core purpose. And yet, we have managed - through all of the emotion, sadness, anger and heartbreak - with God’s help and strength  - to find a positive way through the trials and tribulations and to maintain our witness and worship. 

Naturally throughout this year the Hansford family have been the focus of our prayers and this continues. Thank you to everyone in Bro Ystumanner (and beyond) for the prayers and self-less generosity that you have shown. When the time is right, we look forward to welcoming Ruth back into her role as Vicar and Ministry Area Leader, but until then we continue to worship, praise and minister in Jesus’ name - demonstrating the love which Jesus wants to share with the people who live in Bro Ystumanner and helping them to see God. 

It has been my privilege to see some of the ways in which Bro Ystumanner does this in the variety of communities in your Ministry Area. Welcome Wednesday, school visits, Street Pastors, Plygain, regular worship, special services, setting up our buildings to welcome visitors names just a few. Whatever your role in the ministry of Bro Ystumanner - thank you for everything that you do and continue to do. It is much appreciated. 

I know that church buildings and their repair and maintenance is a source of worry for some. It is good that positive works in Pennal and Tywyn are ongoing. There is now a selection of (small) grants available from the Diocese, which we are making good use of in Bro Ystumanner to do some tidying up. This means additional work for our church officers in overseeing work and administering funds. I thank them for their time, understanding and perseverance. 

The Diocese is doing all it can to support us as we try to help others see God. Our Diocesan Buildings Officer is a regular visitor to Bro Ystumanner and more recently our Archdeaconry Administration Officer has been helping us with a number of issues. They are a good resource for us in Bro Ystumanner. Another positive for 2025 is a reduced Bishop’s Ministry Fund figure for our ministry area. Thank you to the church officers who are ensuring prompt payments for this. The Diocese appreciates this. 

Why are we here? To help others see God. Please pray to our Lord that he will strengthen us all in Bro Ystumanner, to use all the resources that we have at our disposal, to help others see God. 

Pob bendith `☩` Every Blessing, 

## Robert
