This is the quintessential definition of a community church. It's has a congregation that is local…read morewith a twist of welcomed International flare. 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!!!!

We had visited several area UU churches, but hadn't found quite the right spot until we walked through these doors. Folks were just the right amount of friendly and we loved the culture of thoughtful respect for everyone's individual perspective and spiritual journeys. We'd found a home for thinkers and dreamers, believers and skeptics, and both Red Sox and Yankee fans, although probably not too many of the latter. I often joke that I didn't have to invent a religion that respected me and my values, it had already been done. Simply put, the UU Church of Nashua has become the home we were seeking in our quest for our best selves.

Music blasting from the stage from people dressed in holes in the jeans and sneakers and a "leader" that instantly reminded me or smacked of what I once experienced was a Cult centered around one man that appeared to be one that all eyes to be affixed to at all times. Only writing of what I personally felt with nothing else intended!8 From an old fashioned foot washing Baptist with a quiet piano sounding afar and congregation, pleasingly dressed to please God, standing, (no microphones allowed) around the altar singing where many were saved and will be saved, with the spirit and holy ghost felt by all. From AG to Congregational, very safe concept, I personally knew I could never walk through those doors again.

Then there's Rev Geisa's sermons that come from a different perspective that make us better adult people. She really makes you think and her enthusiasm is contagious. After church, if you want to get to know people there is some refreshments downstairs. Everyone is so friendly. There are also many ways that you can serve others in the community through St Paul's Meal, the Food Pantry, UMARMY, and JFON. There's a lot of love coming from this church. The newer MESSY church program,which is open to everyone, is on some Friday nights and is perfect after a long work week since dinner is served before a relaxed creative get together with music and a craft. Everyone has a smile when they leave. Oh, I almost forgot the amazing music program with the Karen's leadership definitely gives WCUMC 5 stars.
