Growth and Change At Newell Churches Through 1969
A dense historical account traces Newell church evolution from Rev. Andersen’s era through dwindling numbers and revival. It covers pastorates led by Larsen, Thompsen, Jensen, Vinding, Gramup, Espersen, and others, building expansions, baptisms, and the 1968 dedication of a new Bethel Baptist Church. It notes 50th and 65th anniversaries, shifts from Danish to English services, and formation of new congregations and missions amid community ties.
