You are welcome among Friends. Wellesley Friends Meeting is a Meeting (congregation) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). We gather for Meeting for Worship at 26 Benvenue Street, Wellesley, MA every First Day at 10:30 am.  Wellesley Friends come together from many towns in the Greater Boston area. We worship together in a community that welcomes all ages, backgrounds, gender identities and orientations.

We are currently meeting in a hybrid format. Click on the links under the heading First Day Hybrid Worship for information on attending in-person, or for the connection information for attending virtually. 

First Day School

Sunday, September 20, 10:45 am

Parents have the option to keep their children in Meeting for the first 15 minutes of worship, after which the children will be brought by a FDS teacher to the classroom.

On Sept, 20, we will start with an “all ages” gathering. Helga Burre will present the *Faith & Play story, “Listening for God.” After the story and the wondering questions, children and youth will reflect on this story in two groups—one for younger kids (preschool - elementary) and one for older kids (middle school and high school).  "Faith and Play" is similar to the "Godly Play" stories we used last year to look at stories from the Bible, but focuses on Quaker faith and practice. The experiential format lets listeners find meaning in the story based on their own life experience as individuals and as part of our spiritual community. 

Class runs until the rise of Meeting. For more information, contact Cynthia Ganung.

Childcare for younger children begins at 10:30 am

Care for younger children throughout Meeting for Worship is available in the second-floor nursery room, from 10:30 am until the rise of Meeting.
