He was succeeded by the Rev B Llewelyn Evans, who took a keen interest in every branch of the church, and did not spare himself.

The Revs B Llewelyn Evans, R M Thomas and D E Clement will officiate.

From the South Wales Voice newspaper, Saturday 10th January 1948:-

IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICE AT GODRE'RGRAIG
The unveiling service held at Godre'rgraig Congregational Chapel after the usual evening service on Sunday last will long be remembered by those present, and especially by the relatives of the heroes whose names are engraved on the tablet which has been erected by the local comforts committee to the memory of the 10 Godre'rgraig boys who laid down their lives in supreme sacrifice in the last Great War.

The unveiling of the tablet was the culminating event in the history of the Godre'rgraig Comforts Committee, which had been so loyal and assiduous in its efforts on behalf of the soldiers, sailors and airmen from the district who saw service in the war. The committee did everything possible for those who returned. It has now crowned its valuable service by doing its duty to those who failed to do so.

There was one unfortunate feature that marred in a measure the expectations of the committee and the public of Godre'rgraig on the occasion. It was the inability of the president of the Comforts Committee, Mr. Joseph Thomas J.P., through illness to be present. Mr. Thomas was to have performed the act of unveiling. His absence was keenly felt. The duty, therefore, was carried out by Mr. Evan Thomas Lewis, who has been the chairman of the committee since its inception.

The service which was bilingual was, necessarily of a solemn and religious character. The Rev B Llewelyn Evans offered the invocation prayer at the commencement; Revs D E Clement and R M Thomas led the devotions and the memorial sermon was preached by the Rev B Llewelyn Evans. Mr. Evans gave an eloquent and impressive discourse based on Joshua IV, 6. "What mean ye by these stones?" After which the tablet was unveiled by Mr. Lewis, followed by two minutes silence. The singing of "Nao wyled teulu Duw ar ol y saint," and the pronouncement of the Benediction, brought a devout and unforgettable service to a fitting close.

The men whose sacrifice is thus commemorated are:
Sgt Dewi Davies R A F
Pte T Victor Davies R E M E
Pte Ieuan T Evans R W F
Sgt Ronald James 3rd Mons
M S Gordon Jenkins M N
Gnr Thomas Lewis R H A
Stkr Phillip Pritchard R N
Sgt A Lionel Roberts R A F V R
Sgt Ieuan H Williams R A F V R
AB Raymond Wesson R N

The singing at the service was led by Mr Lewis Williams A.T.S.C., and the organist was Mr. J Bryn Thomas A. V. CV. M.

The South Wales Voice of Saturday 9th September 1950 records the final service of the Rev B Llewelyn Evans before his departure from Godre'rgraig Chapel.

GODRE'RGRAIG MINISTER'S DEPARTURE
Many Tributes to Rev. B. Ll. Evans

The last service of Rev. B. Ll. Evans as minister of Godre'rgraig Chapel took place on Sunday before his departure to Maenclochog, Pembrokeshire. Here he will take charge of the joint ministrate of Hen Gapel and Siloh, Castell Henry. The service was well-attended, and advantage was taken of the occasion by the members, to show their appreciation of Mr Evans' successful ministry during his five years at Godre'rgraig.
On behalf of the church and friends, Mr John Jones, senior deacon, presented Mr Evans with a handsome cheque, and referred to his zeal and sincerity and his untiring efforts for the cause.
He was also given a suitably inscribed walking-stick by Mr E.T. Lewis on behalf of the members of Godre'rgraig Dramatic Society in which he had taken a prominent and practical part since his advent to Godre'rgraig; Mr Lewis read some verses of his own composition suitable to the occasion.
Mr Lewis Willians, A.T.S.C., the precentor, expressed the regrets of the Sunday school members snf the Band of Hope at Mr Evans' departure, his concern for the young had been a feature of his ministry.
Others who paid tribute were Messrs D.T. Jones and Johnny Wiliams. A charge that many ministers of the Gospel did not take enough practical interest in local social affairs was made by Mr Illtyd Rees, chairman of Ystallyfera Public Band. He, however, exempted Mr Evans, who he said had not limited his sphere of activities to his church; the members of the band would lose in him an indefatigable commiitteeman who was not afraid to take his coat off and roll up his sleeves when necessary.
The parent church of Pantteg was represented by Rev Iowerth Jones, who spoke of his intimate connection with Mr Evans and spoke of the valuable work he had done in connection with "Undeb Cymru Fydd" and the "Cymanfa Dirwestol y Plant" in the area.
All the speakers whilst expressing their regret at his departure, wished him and his family a pleasant and successful ministry at Maenclochog.
Mr Evans, who was visibly affected, said it was with mixed feelings that bhe was leaving Godre'rgraig; his five years pastorate had been the happiest of his life; the kindness of local people and co-operation of his members had assisted in making his work far more easy and pleasant; reference had been made to his interest in the young and he hoped the church would continue to appreciate that its future lay with them.
Miss Edith Morgan, schoolmistress, secretary of the church, presided and Mr D.T. Jones officiated at the organ.

INDUCTION SERVICE

A large contingent from Godre'rgraig and Pantteg chapels, as well as other friends, attended Mr Evans' induction service to his new ministry on Thursday, in which Revs T.J. Morris, Soar, E.T.Evans, Wern, and Iowerth Jones, Pantteg, took part.

In the 28th July 1951 edition of the South Wales Voice, the induction of Rev T J Roberts as the new minister of Godrergraig Chapel includes the participation of two former ministers, one of whom is B Llewelyn Evans:-

An address on the Ministry was given by Rev B Llewelyn Evans Maenclochog former pastor of the church. Mr Evans said that to ensure a successful ministry, a pastor must have the sympathy of his church. The success of a pastorate depended largely on the members and the contribution they were prepared to make towards a common cause.
