Nobody steps on a church in MY town!…read more This is my church. Been going here for ages. Not your typical rock & mortar fire & brimstone church as it was built in... the 70s I am guessing? But the priests are nice, the congregation like any other, and lots of different activities and support groups. Big ol' parking lot too. The sermons are... OK. The main priest here tends to try and inject his own stories into the lectures which more often than no, fails. But, people seem to like him!

I recently attended a funeral service at St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Billerica. It was…read moreexceptionally poor. The priest spoke blankly into the air, never acknowledging or addressing the audience of partitioners right in front of him. Apart from this incompetent and disrespectful behavior, he did not once ever say the name of the deceased, nor did he ever say anything about the deceased's life. After witnessing such self-evident incompetence, we then heard from others at the podium. They too failed to address the parish emotionally or intellectually. As if this failure of a mass wasn't enough, the priest ended the service by stepping up to the microphone and mumbling incoherently for the next 20 minutes. The priest has an important, yet very easy to perform job, and he didn't show that he was able to do the job whatsoever. The church should be ashamed of such poor performance and the priest should resign. We live in a world where we see so much incompetence and neglect. Bottom line, there's no excuse for performing a funeral service with no commentary on the deceased or by mumbling blankly, incoherently, and inaudibly. I couldn't be more upset that our deceased relative did not get the service she, and anyone else, deserves.

The hymnals are still put up the old fashion way wooden board and all. The tradition I loved the most was when Ryan the pastor asked the parishioners about pray request. This may seems like not a big deal to you but it truly is. Your asking your self Why?? This is not seen in most church's anymore. It had build a sense of trust and camaraderie with the family. That right I said family why because that you see when you walk in and its what you hear about when you talk to people that go there. It's a church family that is always looking to expand. As you walk in the front door your immediately overcome by the amazingly precious blue light waves. This blue holo comes from the floor-to-ceiling blue stain glass fills the church's space and warms you all as you walk in. It gives you a sense of blessing are coming your way. My daughter really had fun at the Sunday School she brought back a gift that she made for my wife and I. The school is taught by the Pastor's wife which I loved because is remained me when I went to Sunday daycare with my parents. If you bring your kids you will also find that you just don't drop them off as you walk in kids are actually welcomed to stay with the parents for the 1st scripture reading that comes from the old testament the Palm Sunday were visited. Surprisingly my daughter did not kick the benches in front of her or scream bad words (Miracles Can Happen) she was quit and sat there listening and then asked me questions about God while we were driving back home after service. This is the 1st time she has asked me a question about faith. MMC also has a lot of events going on. Check the website as its updated regularly. Look for Ryan's Blog it's a cool read. The music is traditional and very upbeat. There is a young girl who's name I don't know that has been truly blessed with the great talent of playing the piano. Makes me want to put my daughter in piano lessons and then have go on talent shows and win money.... We're was I?? The lead signer is named Chuck I believe. Chuck has a very cool voice country with a little bit of Massachusetts Twain and grit added. As he was signing you felt that love and passions he has. He not only sings but also plays the guitar with a very cool cross patch on his neck strap. I collect patches so I noticed. The Pastor Ryan him self is a great guy. He loves and is really proud of the church and his county. He unselfishly seats on a public seat to beautify the community in which he lives in and were the church is located. He also sings and plays a signal drum thing. Maybe called I Bongo I don't know. Here's the kicker for me Matthews Memorial Church is over 150 years old it's has a rich and unique history of being in Lowell, MA and then replanting I mean church building and pastor's house and all not just the location to Chelmsford, MA. The fact that this church has that much history may lead you to ponder if the Pastor is old maybe ancient and has been set in is ways of old outdated teachings and just boring. You would be complete wrong I mean wrong as........ lying to a pastor in church wrong or lying to a cop wrong about why you were speeding on I-95. Ryan is young fresh, full of energy and has a passion to not just spread but to truly understands and most importantly LIVING the Gospel day in and day out. He's a voice in the Community and a bold leader in the church and is not afraid to do things his way. Ryan him self is redefining what it means to lead service at MMC. He's open the door to give fellow church goers a chance to go up on the alter and read the Bible. He's brought a updated feel to this place all while keeping the rich history alive and respecting what former pastors laid out for him. After the service ended we might as well hear Sinatra's I did it my way. I'm sure Ryan may want to hear Diamond's Sweet Caroline instead. On a side note I love Sinatra's New York, New York!!!!

The pastor is very intelligent, definitely someone who knows a lot about theology and bible study. The worship is basically standard contemporary style, think Chris Tomlin. The sermons are very much expository style, usually preaching through one book at a time. Again, bible study is definitely a strength of the pastor. As far as theology goes, think John Piper or Wayne Grudem. They are reformed, but not really the types that obsess all the time about being a pure 5-point Calvinist. They are certainly not cessationists, but you probably won't hear anyone shouting in tongues during their services. There is no pressure with the offerings. They are really open about finances and the budget. Demographically there are a lot of families there, many homeschoolers I think. Mainly professional suburban families, if I recall correctly. Since the last review was posted, they have gotten a nice building right near Bradford Common. I think that attendance is around 100ish at this point, too.

It's a big function hall -- big enough for weddings, concerts, comedy shows, etc., with a restaurant and bar attached. The reason this place wins is because it hits the spot on all fronts. The hall is huge. The restaurant is delicious and well priced. It's almost all traditional Portuguese fare, authentic and fresh. The shrimp is to die for, the little necks are fantastic (and I don't even like little necks), the crispy bread is yummy. The drinks are beyond affordable and always made right, and they have espresso like all good Portuguese places should. My favorites? Friday Night Kareoke, Shrimp, and their cockails. What would give them that 5th star? Faster service in the dining room, softer Portuguese bread in the bread basket (it has a soft bread but its usually a bit tough), more tender steak tips. See you on Fridays!

I don't think you can go wrong at all! Oh, but be careful as most everyone here knows each other, so if you look out of the ordinary, expect to be judged. Also, brushing up on your Portuguese a bit before going will help!
