Multi-Church COVID-19 Relief Fund
New City South is joining with local churches in our denomination (Presbyterian Church in America) to pool financial resources for a collective COVID-19 Relief Fund. This will help any church members who have been affected by the pandemic and have need for food, rent, utilities, or medical assistance. This is an opportunity to share financial resources God has given you, and we encourage you to give freely as the Lord leads.
To give a gift online, go here and put "Multi-Church Relief Fund" in the memo box OR mail a check to the main church administrative office with "Multi-Church Relief Fund" in memo line (NCF, 1142 Hodiamont Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63112)
MetroBus and Call-A-Ride Fees Waived
Metro has temporarily waived cash fares on MetroBus and Call-a-Ride. Learn more here.
U.S. Census
The U.S. Census is happening now. Census results help determine how federal funding flows into states and communities each year. Respond to the Census here. By being proactive about filling out the census online, you decrease the amount of in-person contact needed to get the census completed. Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau is hiring. Apply here.
Cloth Masks Available at Low Cost
Juliet Barinwa, a member of our church, is sewing cloth masks and is taking orders. She is offering three masks for $10. (We told her she could ask a higher price, but she mainly wants to serve in this way!) Juliet is an expert seamstress. If you would like to place an order, text or call Juliet (314-885-5613). She lives near the church building and you can arrange pick up from her home.
