Dear Partners in Mission:

A second round of Payroll Protection Program Funds have been made available for small businesses in 2021. This differs from the 2020 version in that it has tests relating to revenue losses in 2020 on a quarterly basis. It would be wise for your congregation, particularly congregations who have schools or other ministries dramatically impacted by Covid-19 closures, to investigate whether you qualify for this potential relief.

For more information please see this link. Additionally, Mr. Jerry Gray, a staff member at Briarwood Leadership Center who has coordinated their PPP program is willing to share information and knowledge he has learned about this program and how your congregation or ministry might qualify. We are grateful that Briarwood is able to offer this service to our congregations. You may contact Jerry at jerry@bwtx.org.

God bless you in this new year!

Bishop Gronberg
