Circle of Friends is an inclusive program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The main purpose is to provide the opportunity for spiritual development, worship, community service to others, and social settings for all abilities. During the school year Circle of Friends participate in Muffin Monday, baking muffins from scratch in the morning (at Open Heart and Canyon Lake UMCs), and handing them out to students walking home from school in the afternoon. Circle of Friends also gathers at Open Heart UMC on Tuesdays at 10:00am for refreshments, music, games, crafts, and spirituality during "Circle Time." Circle of Friends Sunday School is also available Sunday mornings at both Canyon Lake and Open Heart United Methodist Churches.
