-..on the Astro Turf in Ruthin. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-I'm healthy enough... | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |

-Tell me about your role -as church elder, Iwan. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |

-..and the reason -I accepted that role... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-..is because -I feel it's up to my generation... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-..to ensure the Christian cause -at Bethania continues. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-I feel a sense of duty, -to be honest... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-..to promote and sustain the cause. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
-How are things at Bethania nowadays? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |

-Families who have moved into the -area also make up the congregation. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |

-Composer Robat Arwyn is one of the -members of Bethania Chapel, Ruthin. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |

-For our next hymn we return to -the era of the Thirty Years' War... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-..which affected a large swathe -of Europe during the 12th century. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
-The original hymn was recited -as grace before mealtimes... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-..but it rose to popularity... | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-..when it was sung -to celebrate the end of the war. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-Its German title, -Nun Danket Alle Gott... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-..has been translated into Welsh. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-This is Diolchwn Oll i Dduw -a Llaw a Llais a Chalon. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-I'm joined by one of Bethania -Chapel's younger members. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-Gruff McKee, you're in -your final year at Ysgol Brynhyfryd. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-Tell me about your hobbies. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
-I've played football and rugby -for the town since I was seven. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-I was also chosen to go to Patagonia -to perform the play Mimosa. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
-I also performed in Les Mis -in Cardiff at the end of October. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-How does the chapel -play a part in your life? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-Chapel has been central -throughout my life. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-I've been coming to Sunday school -since the age of four. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-The Sunday School -had a faithful young contingent. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-It's helped me in my life because -we've remained friends to this day. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-The chapel helped me recently -when I went to Patagonia. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
-I had to raise funds -for the journey... | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-..so a concert called Bwrlwm -Bethania was held at the chapel... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-..featuring Rhys Meirion -and Robat Arwyn. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-It was a huge success, -so I'm very grateful to the chapel. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-How would you describe your faith... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-..and the way -you think about God and religion? | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-God is a big part of my life... | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-..because I've been brought up -with religion. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
-I think the power of prayer -is remarkable... | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-..because it's something personal... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-..and I'm able to talk to God -about my problems and issues... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-..that I can't discuss -with other people. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
-Thank you for the chat -and good luck in future. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-In 1982, Susan Williams -was sitting at the kitchen table... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-..playing around with her keyboard -when a melody came to her. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-She then meditated on God's love and -wrote a song about her experience. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
-Here is Angharad Rowlands -to perform the song. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
