The current home of the First Church of Christ, Scientist was built in 1927. The Wellesley branch of the church was formed in 1899, when two Wellesley College students, Rebecca M. White and Mary V. Little, began reading lessons on Sundays in their dormitory, as they were not allowed to travel to their Christian Scientist Church in Boston. Florence Weston, a Wellesley resident, invited them to worship at her home, and the rest is history. The church marked its 100th anniversary in 2004, and continues to be a thriving spot for worship in Wellesley. Visit the church's Web site for more information.
