The town of Seabrook is in the midst of a water emergency. The town's water system is failing and there is a lack of drinking water available. Our United Methodist churches in Palacios, Beeville, Port Lavaca and Edna have responded by sending dozens of cases of water to our church in Seadrift, and now Seadrift UMC can help provide water to its neighbors.

This is our connectional system at work. It truly makes a difference!
