Watering Volunteers needed!


Do you have an extra 40 min before or after church on any Sunday? Our baby azaleas must be watered twice a week until October to thrive. We are looking for folks to help on Sundays; a team of two people can accomplish this task in 35 - 40 min.

Contact Robin Canchola if you can help at 361-646-9288 or rcandoo@hotmail.com
