Generation Church
Arizona Museum of Natural History
Feed My Starving Children
Generation Church delivers a welcoming environment for Christians to be fully devoted followers of Jesus. It has main services on Sunday at 9:15 a.m., 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., as well as the more intimate chapel service on Sundays at 8 a.m. Services are also available online on its website.
The secret is out about the Arizona Museum of Natural History. It is the Valley’s only natural history museum with an 80,000-square-foot facility, as well as an array of exhibits to see including a flash flood cascading down a three-story mountain, a live Gila monster and a real territorial jail. Guests can also explore the Lost Dutchman’s Mine and pan for gold.
Feed My Starving Children’s staff said they believe hope starts with food. FMSC has a simple process of using donations to fund meal ingredients. Volunteers hand-pack the meals, then those meals make their way to hungry children. The meals they make are specifically developed by food science and nutrition professionals.

Alex Muñoz has 25 years of experience teaching in Mesa Public Schools. He grew up in Douglas and earned a teaching degree from ASU before going on to complete his master’s at NAU. When asked why he became a teacher, Muñoz said, “I believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives, and I’m passionate about helping my students unlock their full potential. For me, teaching is more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my students by finding their unique needs, strengths and challenges, then helping them shape their future and the world they will live in.”
Tammy Powers has been teaching human anatomy and physiology for all introductory courses to the EVIT’s health and medical programs for the past seven years. She was born and raised in Las Vegas, and graduated from the University of Nevada Reno. She accepted a position at the collegiate level where she prepared human cadavers for the biology department. It was there that she discovered her love of teaching. “The students are definitely my favorite part of teaching,” she said. “Every day is a new day, and it is fun to find new ways to reach them. I share my knowledge with them, and they share their knowledge with me and that is the best part of my work.”
