November is Prematurity Awareness Month and for our Fifth Sunday Donation Drive, we're collecting snacks for the NICU Parent Pantry at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea. The snacks give NICU parents/families a little energy boost when needed to keep hunger and focus in check. 

Items needed include: 

• Protein bars

• Granola bars

• Chips

• Trail mix

• Fruit snacks

• Cookies

• Crackers

• Breakfast bars

HonorHealth's level III NICU cares for babies as tiny as one pound and up. 

Topic: Open Mic

TheALEogy provides an opportunity for church members and friends to gather weekly openly and safely discuss how faith intersects with current world topics and personal interest areas. We gather every Monday at 6:30 p.m. at our new location, LaFamiglia Pizza and Pasta at 1859 W. Guadalupe Road in Mesa. Topics are thoughtfully suggested by attendees and discussed in the spirit of fellowship and respect. 

If there's a certain topic you'd like the Pastor's perspective on, email us for future consideration. 

Men from our church get together Tuesday mornings at 10:30 to enjoy a cup of coffee and chat.

This week meet at Mission Coffee on 2410 S Gilbert Road
