Y Parch Gareth Evans Rowlands yw'r  gweinidog newydd yng Nghapel Bethlehem Gwaelod y Garth. Dechreuodd ar ei waith ym mis Medi llynedd. Dywedodd Gareth "Y peth gorau wnes I erioed oedd symud lawr yma - mae'n ardal wych i fyw ynddi a dwi'n mwynhau fy ngwaith yma. Mae pawb mor gyfeillgar ac yn gwneud i mi deimlo mor gartrefol yn barod. Dwi'n edrych ymlaen i gydweithio â phawb yn yr ardal. 

The Millenium Mosaic prepared by Ymlaen Pentyrch Onward was unveiled on 25 June. Following a dedication by the Vicar, Rev Holcombe, and a speech by the  Deputy Lord Mayor Christine Priday.
   Ymlaen Pentyrch Onward was  formed to bring together various organisations in Pentyrch and to consider events to mark the Millennium.
   Following extensive consultation it was decided to commission the design and installation of a mosaic on the bank adjoining Clawddshon Cottage.
   The mosaic incorporates the logos of various organisations in the Village as well as buildings of community interest.
   Because the group wanted to indicate the importance of everyone we decided to incorporate the faces of two individuals from different ends of the spectrum. At the one end we have Mrs Winnie Davies - who unveiled the mosaic - and young Adam Christopher who had just been born when the design was being considered.
    This project has involved people from all sections of the community. Andrew Bolton (the artist we commissioned) involved children from the schools, young people from the Youth Club and others in its design and construction. The concrete base for the mosaic was provided by the Board Brothers.
    Much hard work has been undertaken

locally because funds were needed to provide for future maintenance as well as initial costs. But the grant from the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme has been of enormous help. The scheme is administered by The Prince's Trust Cymru on behalf of Cardiff County Council.. We want to say a big thank you to the Trust and in particular to their Development Officer, Andy Hunt.
   County Councillor Christine Priday thanked everyone involved for their contribution to the project and congratulated the Ymlaen Pentyrch Onward committee on their efforts.

The Rev Gareth Evans Rowlands is the new minister at Bethlehem Chapel,  Gwaelod y Garth. He moved from the Aberystwyth area last Autumn and has settled in well. In his own words Gareth explains that it was a great decision to move to this area, he feels very much at home and looks forward to furthering his links in the community.
