What people say about New Concord Baptist Church
-
I went to this church as a young boy. My Father was: Robert L. Beck, and my mother , Mary Lou Beck. I was Baptized in the Baptist church in Melber. I dearly loved the little church on the hill {what I called it}. We were neighbors with Tatar Nelson, lived in the big white house on the hill. owned by Woodrow Wilson. We left Melber in the early 60's, a move I regretted my entire life. Around 1997, I returned for a speaking engagement at New Concord, for I was a Missionary to Kenya and later Uganda with Africa Inland Missions. While there with my family, I was so surprised to see much of the originals windows especially the Beautiful glass over the door. While I was speaking from the Pulpit, I was very touched to look out and see my 9 yr old, sitting in the Pews where I used to set and sometimes Miss. Thruston would cool me off by fanning me. I'm turning 68 yrs now, maybe I can visit again. On my last visit, I was to speak in Mayfield, while driving there, I came upon an accident which just happened, and was sad to hear that those who were killed was Tatar Nelsons Daughter and Grandchild. ... New Concord Baptist Church will always remain in my Heart as my Home Church. P.S. If you have a News Letter, would love to receive it. Address: Robert D. Beck, # 6 Imperial Dr. Crawfordsville, Indiana. Thank you.
