ABOUT DISCOVERY CIRCLES
One of the many blessings of McKillop United Church is its large size; this enables us to do a lot in the community and in the congregation and generate the irresistible energy that runs throughout this community.
With two services and a large congregation, one of the challenges is how to feel that we belong.
​
How can we live our values of welcoming, nurturing, affirming, diversity, social justice, and spirituality?
​​
DISCOVERY circles are designed to ignite connection in the context of small groups - everybody is invited to join a circle or DISCOVER one of their own.
