NEWS More Than Bricks and Mortar Glendora - "It's not about the building, but about the lives we will reach," Ed Underwood, Senior Pastor shared with nearly 800 attendees at the September 9th Groundbreaking Ceremony at the Church of the Open Door. As the historic church that was once located in downtown Los Angeles and considered one of the city's hallmarks, prepared to break ground on its new worship center, Pastor Underwood expressed that the event was "More than a celebration of a building, more than bricks and mortar. It's about the broken lives we will reach- -people without hope, marriages that need putting back together and kids who need to know the love of Christ." Glendora Mayor Ken Herman, Councilman Gary Clifford, State Senator Bob Margett and State Assemblyman Anthony Adams were present to bring greetings from the community. Reflecting on the historical relationship between Biola University and the Church of the Open Door, former Biola University President Clyde Cook was also in attendance. In a recent mailing to Delta Nu Challenges Members To 212° Service Delta Nu ladies enjoy a lovely brunch. (left to right) Julianne Cull, Dancy Griffith, Pat Scherer, Donna Fair, Susan Hamilton, Karen Davies, and Barbara Davaidson. by Lynda Siminske Twenty-five Delta Nu teaching society members met recently at Gail Haynes home for a lovely brunch and a “kick-off” meeting for the new school year. Following brunch, a special guest, Judy Kearns, Chi State Corresponding Secretary, and recently retired Arcadia teacher, spoke. She presented a power point presentation of a very special motivational book called 212° The Extra Degree. Water boils at 212 degrees, and the difference of one degree in both water and our lives can make a big difference. It’s a proven factor that many Olympic athletics, golfers, race car drivers win by just a tiny edge over the person behind them. We need to strive just a little harder to win and make a difference. In our own lives we are responsible for the results. It’s time for each of us to turn up the heat. Five qualities make up a 212 performance: attitude, kindness, belief, focus, and perseverance. Can you image ... just one act of kindness a week will add up to 52 acts a year, and if you complain once Glendora residents, Pastor Underwood shared, "The new worship building is part of the church's heartfelt desire to provide a welcoming facility to Glendora families seeking to learn about a relationship with Christ while raising healthy and strong families." The church holds two services on Sunday mornings. The traditional service is at 9:30AM and the contemporary worship begins at 11:00AM.

Judy’s presentation and the book would be helpful for anyone in a leadership position. People in the groups you lead, don’t care about how much you know. They want to know how much you care. Following Judy’s presentation, a business meeting was held by President Susan Hamilton. Delta Nu is continuing and increasing their “Literacy in the Laundromat” to four local Laundromats. Boxes of children’s books have been place around town for children to read while their parents are doing the laundry. Delta Nu will continue to help and work with area teachers both in the classroom and providing ideas, help, and materials. A meaningful project last year was with Serenity Infant Care House in Covina. We will continue to provide needed supplies there and are will begin a new project “Operation Birthday Box.” Delta Nu is also selling “Entertainment Books” as a fundraiser to help with the above project.

SPONSORS Sept 20 - 26, 2007 S.G.V. EXAMINER A3 Love Keeps An Appointment My husband often tells our friends to be careful what they say because they may give me an idea for a poem. This is probably true of most poets and it is certainly true of me. I am always looking for a new subject to put in rhyme. I especially like to write ballads because I am a story teller at heart. When I am told something that moves me emotionally, I search for just the right words to tell it in a poetic way, hoping to bless others. The following ballad tells a true story that I read in a magazine several years ago. It is my hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it: LOVE KEEPS AN APPOINTMENT "Six minutes to six P.M.", The clock in the airport stated. His heart was in his mouth. His breath was short and bated. What would this girl look like? Be a knock out or plain Jane? This much loved long time pen pal. He looked at his watch again. "Four minutes to six," it said. His mind recalled her writing, All those letters of encouragement, That helped him go on fighting, The fear that crept into his breast, When duty gave cruel demand.

Now the time was three until six, Why hadn't she sent a picture? Was it because she was homely? His thoughts were confused with a mixture, Of wanting her to be beautiful, Afraid that she might lack grace. The one he adored in his dreams, Had both perfect form and face. She spoke of her private theory, "That if two were to be soul mated, That they would fall in love, Before they met and dated." One minute to six on the clock.

But, sadly, he realized, That she wore no rose of red, But, standing close beside, A pale plump gentle lady appeared. Disappointment was hard to hide, As he beheld the scarlet bud, Pinned to her gray lapel. Although she seemed warm and friendly, His spirits quickly fell. Longing to follow the lovely lass, As she raced across the floor. She was the one he'd hoped for, Now gone through the closing door, "Hello", he said with resolution, "May I take you out to dine?" Determined to do the right thing, For this jaded Valentine. To his surprise, she said, "I don't understand, young man, But the girl who spoke to you just now, Asked me to join her plan: To wear this flower and greet you. Then if you suggested dating, Please go across to that restaurant, Where she'll be eagerly waiting!"

And then they get to paint their very own pottery to go with those questions. Story Art Day comes once a month at Mold Me and Make Me, 525 S. Glendora Ave., and this Saturday, September 22, the race is on with Jamie Lee Curtis' Is There Really A Human Race. Found at either of Glendora's book stores - Village Book Shop or Blue Chair Children's Books - books for Story Art Day are chosen from classics and favorites as well as new books the kids hear in school today. "We feature a cool new way to get kids interested in reading and explor[ing] their creative side," said Rebecca Stephanik, owner with husband, Jeff Stephanik. "Children will hear a story and then they will paint a project of the main character." As they paint, they play games and enjoy snacks and juice.

"When did it start? / Who said, 'Ready, Set, Go'? / Did it start on my birthday? / I really must know." "These questions in the story, meant to instigate discussions and musings, also provide a great start for lifelong reflections on one's place in the world," said Deborah Gould, By Lorie Pope Pauly Sharon Lewis was born in Wausau, Wisconsin and arrived in Glendora when she was eleven years old. Like many of us who came from colder climates, she thought she had died and gone to Heaven when she and her family moved to beautiful sunny California. She fell in love with Glendora, its orange groves, palm trees and balmy weather, and that love still remains in her heart. Sharon and her husband, Charles, opened Lewis' Saw and Lawnmower Inc. in Azusa and recently celebrated fifty wonderful years of serving the many friends they have made while conducting their business down through the years. They are also celebrating fifty-seven years of marriage and are blessed with four daughters, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. In order to spend more time with family and enjoy some relaxation and travel, they have recently turned the business over to their son in law, Terry Bensen, who is carrying on the family tradition of practicing the Golden Rule in all business transactions.
