-Joining me now is a resident

-of Ammanford, Dr Watcyn James.

0:04:220:04:27

-You're not from here originally.

0:04:280:04:30

-Not originally but we've been here

-since 1983 when I married Lowri.

0:04:300:04:34

-I was born in India.

0:04:340:04:37

-We came back and lived in Coedpoeth

-before then moving on to Australia.

0:04:380:04:43

-After that Llanrhaeadr-ym-mochnant,

-Montgomeryshire became our home.

0:04:430:04:47

-That's where I consider I'm from.

0:04:470:04:49

-You are the editor of Y Goleuad.

0:04:500:04:53

-I've been editor for two years.

0:04:540:04:56

-I had never really understood

-how soon every Friday arrives...

0:04:570:05:01

-..until I had to hit

-that weekly deadline.

0:05:010:05:04

-It's very interesting work

-trying to reflect...

0:05:050:05:08

-..all our church activities as

-the Presbyterian Church of Wales.

0:05:080:05:12

-We have three distinct objectives.

0:05:130:05:16

-We try to support, build and

-inspire all the weekly activities.

0:05:160:05:20

-In my mind we are humbly trying

-to follow in the footsteps...

0:05:210:05:26

-..of people like Thomas Jones

-from Denbigh and Thomas Charles...

0:05:260:05:30

-..when they published

-Y Trysorfa back in 1799.

0:05:300:05:33

-They had the same vision...

0:05:340:05:36

-..of helping people recognize

-their spiritual heritage.

0:05:360:05:39

-Making them see that they aren't

-some irrelevant little sect...

0:05:390:05:45

-..but rather the local manifestation

-of a massive spiritual movement.

0:05:450:05:51

-It's very important that we can

-allow people to see that...

0:05:520:05:58

-..and recognize that local activity

-symbolizes something much broader.

0:05:580:06:04

-An embodiment of how God

-continues to influence our world.

0:06:040:06:07

-What are your future plans?

0:06:080:06:10

-Getting this week's issue finished

-is the first goal.

0:06:110:06:14

-We're thinking of ways to publish

-digitally using modern media...

0:06:150:06:19

-..to be relevant and contemporary

-and appeal to younger generations.

0:06:190:06:24

-We want to show people that God is

-still with us and guiding our work.

0:06:250:06:30

-Our conductor also conducts

-Cor Lleisiau'r Cwm.

0:06:340:06:37

-They will perform next.

0:06:370:06:38

-This is a translation of

-A Clare Benediction.

0:06:380:06:41

-# May the Lord

-show His mercy upon you

0:06:420:06:49

-# May the light of his presence

0:06:520:06:59

-# Be your sturdy guide

0:07:010:07:08

-# May His spirit

-be ever at your side

0:07:090:07:17

-# When you sleep

-may His angels watch over you

0:07:190:07:26

-# When you wake,

-may He fill you with grace

0:07:280:07:36

-# May you love Him

-and serve Him all your days

0:07:370:07:48

-# Then in heaven

-may you see His face

0:07:490:07:59

-# May the Lord's

-loving kindness surround you

0:08:080:08:16

-# Keep you safe

-as you journey on your way

0:08:180:08:27

-# May He lead you and inspire you

0:08:270:08:35

-# As he grants you

-the gift of each new day

0:08:360:08:44

-# May he bless all your

-loved ones and cherish them

0:08:460:08:53

-# Ev'ry friend,

-ev'ry stranger at your door

0:08:550:09:02

-# In the name of his Son

0:09:050:09:10

-# Our Saviour Christ

0:09:110:09:16

-# May God bless you

0:09:170:09:22

-# Now and evermore

0:09:220:09:27

-# May God bless you

0:09:320:09:37

-# Now and evermore

0:09:370:09:45

-# Now and evermore #

0:09:470:09:58

-Next we sing Elfed's translation

-of a hymn by J D Burns...

0:10:010:10:05

-.."Still with Thee, O my God."

0:10:060:10:09

-I have the pleasure now of meeting

-one of the most active members...

0:12:440:12:48

-..of the All Saints Church

-here in Ammanford, Desna Pemberton.

0:12:480:12:52

-You've been part of the renovations

-going on recently here.

0:12:530:12:56

-Peter, my husband, was asked

-a few years ago to look for grants.

0:12:580:13:03

-The building needed renovation.

0:13:040:13:07

-Twelve of us formed an executive

-committee to fill in the forms.

0:13:080:13:14

-The tower was leaking rainwater.

0:13:160:13:19

-No work had been done on it

-for a while.

0:13:200:13:22

-The electrical system

-wasn't working.

0:13:230:13:26

-It had been condemned

-and the boiler had also broken.

0:13:270:13:30

-That was already priced at 250,000.

0:13:310:13:34

-To claim certain grants

-such as HLF...

0:13:350:13:38

-..the project had to have an element

-of community support as well.

0:13:380:13:42

-We had to show that we would

-open the church to the community.

0:13:430:13:47

-The fact that

-the church was spacious enough...

0:13:490:13:53

-..to seat 500 people

-was in our favour.

0:13:530:13:57

-You were aiming to make the church

-more relevant to the 21st century.

0:13:570:14:01

-Certainly.

0:14:020:14:03

-You have to move with the times

-and get the right facilities.

0:14:030:14:09

-The church had to be ready to host

-concerts, plays and exhibitions.

0:14:090:14:14

-Facilities that the whole community

-can use.

0:14:140:14:16

-How strong is your church?

0:14:170:14:19

-Quite good.

0:14:200:14:21

-We don't have a vicar at the moment

-which is a problem.

0:14:220:14:27

-There isn't anyone here

-to lead the congregation.

0:14:290:14:34

-That's our next aim.

0:14:340:14:36

-We want our own vicar

-to take charge.

0:14:370:14:39

-They should be able to see

-that the facilities are here...

0:14:390:14:43

-..and the church is ready

-for this century.

0:14:440:14:46

-It should enable them to go out

-and bring new people in.

0:14:470:14:50

-It's been a pleasure talking to you.

0:14:510:14:53

-We have another performance next.

0:14:540:14:56

-Robin Lyn performs a translation of

-the Victorian Ballad, The Holy City.

0:14:570:15:01

-# Last night I lay a sleeping

0:15:060:15:10

-# There came a dream so fair

0:15:110:15:12

-# I stood in old Jerusalem

0:15:140:15:18

-# Beside the temple there

0:15:190:15:22

-# I heard the children singing

0:15:240:15:27

-# And ever as they sang

0:15:270:15:31

-# Methought the voice of angels

0:15:310:15:35

-# From Heavn in answer rang

0:15:360:15:39

-# Methought the voice of angels

0:15:400:15:46

-# From Heavn in answer rang

0:15:460:15:53

-# Jerusalem! Jerusalem!

0:15:530:16:00

-# Lift up your gates and sing

0:16:010:16:06

-# Hosanna in the highest

0:16:070:16:13

-# Hosanna to your king!

0:16:140:16:20

-# And then methought

-my dream was changed

0:16:340:16:38

-# The streets no longer rang

0:16:390:16:42

-# Hushed were the glad hosannas

0:16:430:16:46

-# The little children sang

0:16:470:16:50

-# The sun grew dark with mystery

0:16:510:16:55

-# The morn was cold and chill

0:16:560:16:59

-# As the shadow of a cross arose

0:17:000:17:02

-# Upon a lonely hill

0:17:040:17:08

-# As the shadow of a cross arose

0:17:090:17:13

-# Upon a lonely hill

0:17:150:17:20

-# Jerusalem! Jerusalem!

0:17:220:17:29

-# Hark! how the angels sing

0:17:300:17:35

-# Hosanna in the highest

0:17:360:17:42

-# Hosanna to your king

0:17:420:17:47

-# And once again

-the scene was changed

0:18:020:18:06

-# New Earth there seemed to be

0:18:060:18:09

-# I saw the Holy City

0:18:100:18:13

-# Beside the tideless sea

0:18:140:18:17

-# The light of God

-was on its streets

0:18:180:18:22

-# The gates were open wide

0:18:220:18:25

-# And all who would might enter

0:18:260:18:32

-# And no one was denied

0:18:320:18:36

-# No need of moon or stars by night

0:18:390:18:45

-# Or sun to shine by day

0:18:460:18:50

-# It was the new Jerusalem

0:18:510:18:57

-# That would not pass away

0:18:570:19:03

-# It was the new Jerusalem

0:19:030:19:09

-# That would not pass away

0:19:090:19:15

-# Jerusalem! Jerusalem!

0:19:170:19:24

-# Sing, for the night is oer

0:19:250:19:30

-# Hosanna in the highest

0:19:310:19:37

-# Hosanna for evermore!

0:19:370:19:42

-# Hosanna in the highest

0:19:440:19:51

-# Hosanna for evermore #

0:19:540:20:07

-I hope you've enjoyed

-our programme from Ammanford.

0:20:120:20:16

-Join us again next week.

0:20:160:20:18

-We couldn't come here without

-singing one of Nantlais' hymns.

0:20:190:20:23

-This is his Welsh translation of...

0:20:230:20:25

-"What a wonderful change

-in my life has been wrought

0:20:250:20:28

0:20:280:20:30
