All are welcome at our Wild Church gathering!Once a month we offer the opportunity to gather for worship out in nature. This monthly service, Chapel in the Pines, takes place at a recreational town park in Wellesley which is surrounded by forest. At Chapel in the Pines we experience the Sacred in nature through prayer, sacred readings and short meditative walks in the forest.
Refreshments are served after the service.
McKinnon Park in Wellesley, MA (at the intersection of Halsey Ave. and MacArthur Rd.). See the map in the comments of this post.
Look for our bright yellow Wild Church sign.
This service is part of the Wild Church Movement which began in 2016 with the formation of the Wild Church Network. Since then, Wild Church communities have been popping up all over the US and Canada. We were the first Wild Church community in the state of Massachusetts!
What is Wild Church?
A Wild Church is a community of people who gather outdoors to worship and connect with God through experiences with nature. Wild Church communities seek to discover how the Sacred is revealed through the trees, the birds, the wind and the earth. Wild Church offers a time to experience the splendor of the Divine's creation and praise the Creator for the beauty of the earth.
Please…
• Park on the forest side of Turner Street (near the entrance to Morse’s Pond) then walk down Halsey Ave. to McKinnon Park. This is a 5-10 minute walk.
• Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on.
• A water bottle or hot drink.
• Wear casual, weather appropriate clothing and sturdy walking shoes.
• Try to arrive 10 minutes early so we can begin right at 3:00
