PABC Family, this is Pastor Walter with some important information. We have kept the church office open during these days and we want to continue to do this as long as possible, but we are making some changes to how we are

operating so wanted you to know about these changes. We are restricting access to the church office to just our PABC staff members. If you come by the church office the small lobby just outside the office is open but the glass window and door will remain closed. If you need to pick something up or drop something off it can be done there. We are also restricting access to the other buildings as well. Our church staff is a valuable asset during these days and if one of us becomes ills it would create an even greater burden on the others. Are we living in fear, no we are using the "sound mind" God gave us so we can continue to minister to our church family and community. For the time being the church office hours remain the same: Monday-Thursday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and closed Noon-1:00 for lunch. We appreciate your understanding and help in this matter. We are praying for you as we know

you are praying for us.

Portland Parents, our Whiz Kids

office provided several FREE sites that we

thought you may find helpful as you adjust to

the new "learn-at-home" for public schools.

(They could be helpful to our many home-

school families as well!)

-Audible has introduced Audible Stories,

which offers a number of classics, such as

“Winnie the Pooh”, “The Jungle Book”,

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, “The

Call of the Wild” and more. Audible Stories

can be accessed on your computer, tablet or

smartphone. There is no log-in or personal

information required; just visit

stories.audible.com, click “start listening” and

let the stories come alive.

-Prodigy is a free, addictive, progressive

math game for ages 5-14. The game is al-

ways free, but the website is adding even

more educational value to families with its

constantly-updated list of resources for fami-

lies — which includes their own daily sched-

ules. (https://play.prodigygame.com/)

Know that we are praying for you as you and

your kids adjust to the NEW NORMAL.

ALSO, a little reminder . . . Buchanan is

providing FREE "Grab & Go" lunches every

day for kids, 18 and under.

One way PABC can be on mission in our city is to

help with this need. If you are out shopping could

you purchase a few of these items and drop off at

the church. We are here Mon-Thur 8:30-Noon and

1:00-5:00 pm. We will see that the items are deliv-

ered to Positive Tomorrows. If you're not getting

out to shop, then have the person who is buying

for you purchase a few items and we can pick

them up from your house. Another option is to

make gift to purchase items. Mail a check to the

church but mark the memo line with Food4PT or

you can give online and choose Food4PT from the

dropdown box. Here's the direct link to our giving

page: portlandavenue.org/giving.

Church Family and Community Friends,

with the public school going online

we know there may be a need

among students, parents, and

teachers to print off school work and

WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP!

Below are three SIMPLE and FREE steps:

1. Email your school work to:

printyourschoolwork@portlandavenue.org.

We will print it off for you at NO COST.

2. You can pick up your copies between 9am-

4pm, Monday-Thursday.at Portland Avenue

Baptist Church at 1301 N. Portland Avenue,

OKC,

3. If you need something scanned and sent to

you, we’ll be happy to do that as well.

In these challenging days, know that we are

praying for you and our entire community!
