HBC adheres to the principles of worship prescribed in the Bible; therefore one will find the worship here refreshingly limited to prayer, the singing of hymns/palms, reading the Holy Scriptures, and expository preaching of sound doctrine that will strengthen one's soul. There is a love and unity among the congregation despite the social, economic, and ethnic diversity of its members and attenders. Sermons are translated live into Spanish for those who struggle understanding the English language.

When I first started attending First UU, I didn't really feel like I needed a church. I needed a…read morechoir, and First UU has a great one; that's what initially drew me in. A few months after joining the sanctuary choir, though, I was surprised to find myself feeling more and more at home throughout the church (not just in the choir loft). The Unitarian church is not like other churches. For those of you who don't know anything about it, a good place to start is our principles: * The inherent worth and dignity of every person; * Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; * Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; * A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; * The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; * The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; * Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. If the principles above align with yours, come check out First UU. One other thing about the church that makes me proud is that we're just about to break ground on a new education building, and we plan to pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification for it (we're hoping for silver).

The Church is beautiful! I love the Roman Architecture that includes three inviting arches with beautiful wooden doors. This Church is great for photos. The Holy Water greets you far more than the people who make up the Church. The entry way is large and the restrooms are located to the right or left as you walk in. They are camouflaged with the wooden panels. The Sanctuary is large and the Church has a lot of members. The Cantor sings beautifully. Her voice is very high and I love to see her lift her hands to the Lord with confidence. The Priest had a bit of an accent but, I was able to walk away with some wisdom. He spoke about the importance of loving our neighbor as ourself. He encouraged us to bless those who live in poverty and he also wants us to adopt a child. I loved seeing Church members show reverence to the Cross by bowing and lookup to the cross. The Church is filled with lots of families. The Church is peaceful and everyone keeps to themselves. Saint Maria Goretti offers a lot activities for the Church to get involved. some Calendar of Events include a Scripture Study, Adoration, Fellowship, a Cowboys Watch Party, Men's Basketball and so much more. So, if you are Catholic and are looking for a Catholic Church. I would recommend this Parish, it's the Mother Parish of Arlington.

Since the last review was written in 2015, and today we're in 2022, I'd like to add our experience…read morehere. We're new to the area and sought a church that offers Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Having completed a Google Search, we were brought to St Maria Goretti in Arlington. We arrived to the parish office and I had asked about if the church had a cry room for us with toddlers to attend mass. The male organist stated that the cry room is closed due to covid and hasn't reopened. Fair enough. I asked what people with toddlers did during mass and he shares that there's the back entry way or going outside to the porch area. That sounds welcoming. I asked where the Adoration chapel was and he said that it was behind the door we were standing near but that the entrance was around to the outside entrance. Ok. He mentions that it's a small room and points at my toddler son who isn't keeping his feet still. I nod and say, "We'd just like to say hello to Jesus." Myself and my two toddlers head outside to peek into the Adoration room (not chapel) to say hi to Jesus and there are three people praying in what looks like a walk-in closet. So the cry room is closed but this small room is open. Ok. The kids and I excuse ourselves to the small garden in front of the parish office to see the statues and walk to the main entrance of the church to check out this back entry way of where we can stand for mass with our toddlers, but the doors are locked. Ok. The sign pictured and attached to this review states that if we would like to revere Jesus in the main church, to ask the church office for admittance. We three make our way back to the parish office to ask about entrance and meet an African American music woman who just stepped out of the office if there might be any doors open to the church or if she might be able to let us in. She shrugs and says curtly, "Why?" Mind you, I'm a five foot tall woman with a 2 year old and a 3 year old latched to me so they don't take off in two directions at a new place that sits on a busy street. I reply, "So the kids and I can say hello to Jesus since the Adoration room is small. It says on the door to ask for permission." She gets more curt and responds, "We just don't let anybody in there." Ok. I reached for the kids hands and say, "Ok. I see we're not welcome here." She immediately comes to and says, "Well, it's not that. I'm going in now if you want to come in. " That hurt, but I told the kids we'd say hello to Jesus and frankly, we're needing Him pretty badly today. I nodded and said we'd only be five minutes maximum. We go inside, the kids sit on the pew in the front row, I sing softly for the kids and complete the prayer, "Father, I abandon myself into Your Hands," and then we bless ourselves and leave. We're in there two minutes, tops. We will not be visiting this church again, sadly.

This church which sits in the heart of Colleyville was one of the first buildings built off of John Mccain Road. There are 2 churches on the property. The 1st one, built in the 1980's (which I grew up in), was built after St. Mary's church in Old Cairo, Egypt known as "The Hanging" church dating back to the 3rd century AD. The newer church building was designed by the same architect with the true Coptic architectural style, featuring domes, marble, cherry wood, and Coptic icons written from a student of the Higher Institute of Coptic Studies in Cairo, Egypt. It is a true gem in the heart of Colleyville. Apart from its architectural beauty, its parishioners embody the true meaning of a Church with their dedication and class. To experience a Coptic Orthodox Christian liturgy is to truly find yourself praying amidst the angels, with its beautiful hymns many of which were taken from ancient pharaonic chants and Christianized to proclaim the Salvation of Christ among the roof tops. If you're looking for rich depth of prayer and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, come in and experience the historical and faithful services our beautiful Coptic church has to offer. See you on Sunday...

So I'll only be reviewing the venue as I've never been to the church part whereas I've been to the venue hall many times. This place is beyond huge. Been here to many music events over the years. They've gathered a good reputation as the place to be on weekends for Mexican concerts. They stage is huge and welll kept. Fully functioning super clean huge kitchen with state of the art stoves. Every time you're here you're sure to be fed well. The restrooms are huge and super clean and well stocked throughout the night. That's always a plus especially if it's a huge venue like this. Also this place always has very friendly security staff was working the events. This isn't the best neighborhood and its always a bit nice whenever you have a friendly face looking out for your safety. Now the negative. The church staff not the security staff has always been super unfriendly and pushy in my opinion. They've never been friendly or kind all these years I've been coming here for shows. Just today we ran out of room for our DJ and audio equipment and wanted to rent a table from them for the night. They had plenty in the back area but wanted to rent us one for $80 an hr for a couple hrs of use. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it but those prices are ridiculously for a table, which they had plenty of. Anyways nice clean venue but unfriendly staff.
