More Than Bricks and Mortar<br />
Glendora - "It's not about the<br />
building, but about the lives we<br />
will reach," Ed Underwood,<br />
Senior Pastor shared with nearly<br />
800 attendees at the <strong>September</strong><br />
9th Groundbreaking Ceremony<br />
at the Church of the Open Door.<br />
As the historic church that<br />
was once located in downtown<br />
Los Angeles and considered one<br />
of the city's hallmarks, prepared<br />
to break ground on its new<br />
worship center, Pastor<br />
Underwood expressed that the<br />
event was "More than a celebration<br />
of a building, more than<br />
bricks and mortar. It's about<br />
the broken lives we will reach-<br />
-people without hope, marriages<br />
that need putting back together<br />
and kids who need to<br />
know the love of Christ."<br />
Glendora Mayor Ken<br />
Herman, Councilman Gary<br />
Clifford, State Senator Bob<br />
Margett and State Assemblyman<br />
Anthony Adams were<br />
present to bring greetings from<br />
the community. Reflecting on<br />
the historical relationship between<br />
Biola University and the<br />
Church of the Open Door,<br />
former Biola University President<br />
Clyde Cook was also in<br />
attendance.<br />

Twenty-five Delta Nu teaching<br />
society members met recently at<br />
Gail Haynes home for a lovely<br />
brunch and a “kick-off” meeting<br />
for the new school year. Following<br />
brunch, a special guest, Judy<br />
Kearns, Chi State Corresponding<br />
Secretary, and recently retired<br />
Arcadia teacher, spoke. She presented<br />
a power point presentation<br />
of a very special motivational<br />
book called 212° The Extra Degree.<br />
Water boils at 212 degrees,<br />
and the difference of one degree<br />
in both water and our lives can<br />
make a big difference.<br />
It’s a proven factor that many<br />
Olympic athletics, golfers, race car<br />
drivers win by just a tiny edge<br />
over the person behind them. We<br />
need to strive just a little harder<br />
to win and make a difference. In<br />
our own lives we are responsible<br />
for the results. It’s time for each<br />
of us to turn up the heat. Five<br />
qualities make up a 212 performance:<br />
attitude, kindness, belief,<br />
focus, and perseverance. Can you<br />
image ... just one act of kindness<br />
a week will add up to 52 acts a<br />
year, and if you complain once<br />
Glendora residents, Pastor<br />
Underwood shared, "The new<br />
worship building is part of the<br />
church's heartfelt desire to provide<br />
a welcoming facility to<br />
Glendora families seeking to<br />
learn about a relationship with<br />
Christ while raising healthy and<br />
strong families."<br />
The church holds two services<br />
on Sunday mornings. The<br />
traditional service is at 9:30AM<br />
and the contemporary worship<br />
begins at 11:00AM. For more<br />

less a day, that eliminates 365<br />
complaints a year. Judy’s presentation<br />
and the book would be helpful<br />
for anyone in a leadership position.<br />
People in the groups you<br />
lead, don’t care about how much<br />
you know. They want to know<br />
how much you care.<br />
Following Judy’s presentation,<br />
a business meeting was held by<br />
President Susan Hamilton. Delta<br />
Nu is continuing and increasing<br />
their “Literacy in the Laundromat”<br />
to four local Laundromats. Boxes<br />
of children’s books have been<br />
place around town for children to<br />
read while their parents are doing<br />
the laundry.<br />
Delta Nu will continue to help<br />
and work with area teachers both<br />
in the classroom and providing<br />
ideas, help, and materials. A meaningful<br />
project last year was with<br />
Serenity Infant Care House in<br />
Covina. We will continue to provide<br />
needed supplies there and<br />
are will begin a new project “Operation<br />
Birthday Box.” Delta Nu<br />
is also selling “Entertainment<br />
Books” as a fundraiser to help<br />
with the above project.<br />
