Services were held in Welsh until 1926, although the minister was given permission in 1915 to preach for 10 minutes in English every Sunday night.

Baptist meetings at New Tredegar began in 1854 at the house of William Davies, a member of Zoar, Pontlottyn. They moved to the long room at the Dynevor Arms, Tirphil. Saron was built in 1860 on the Monmouthshire side of the River Rhymney, but remained part of the Glamorgan Baptist cause.

Cafwyd gwasanaethau yn y Gymraeg tan 1926, er ym 1915 rhoddwyd caniatâd i'r gweinidog pregethu am 10 munud mewn Saesneg pob nos Sul.

Dechreuodd cyfarfodydd y Bedyddwyr yn Nhredegar Newydd ym 1854 yn nhŷ William Davies, aelod Capel Bedyddwyr Soar, Pontlotyn. Symudwyd i ystafell hir y Dynevor Arms, Tirphil. Adeiladwyd Saron ym 1860 ar ochr Sir Fynwy o'r Afon Rhymni ond barhaodd y gynulleidfa fel rhan o achos Bedyddwyr Morgannwg.

The log book for Senghenydd Boys School reveals that in January 1937 Mr I H Harris, Woodwork Master, was admitted to Cardiff Royal Infirmary. It appears that the magazine was compiled by the boys as a gift to Mr Harris during his convalescence. Sadly, Mr Harris died on 22 February 1937.

Mae llyfr log Ysgol i Fechgyn Senghennydd yn datgelu derbyniwyd Mr I H Harris, Athro Gwaith Coed, i Ysbyty Brenhinol Caerdydd yn Ionawr 1937. Mae’n ymddangos i’r bechgyn creu’r cylchgrawn fel anrheg i Mr Harris wrth iddo dderbyn triniaeth. Yn drist iawn bu farw Mr Harris ar 22 Chwefror 1937.
