Hi, my name is Arthur and I have been coming to Dovecot Church since babyhood. 25th January 1954 is the day I became a Christian, I was 12 years old. It was a Tuesday night at the Young Peoples Fellowship meeting...
Through attending Dovecot and listening to the messages each week, gradually I began to realise that I wasn’t entitled to enter heaven based on being a good person or attending church.
I prayed there and then, thanking the Lord Jesus for dying for me on the cross for my sins and asking Him for forgiveness and to come into my life. I had got right with God.
From an early age I was encouraged to go to St Mark’s Church with my family where I was christened and attended Sunday School. Then from the age of 10 we moved to a new house, so we started attending St Anne’s Stanley on Prescot Road where I was confirmed.
