TCM Graduation - Haus Edelweiss - Austria
This Spring, our team will serve at Haus Edelweiss during graduation week. Haus Edelweiss is TCM's graduate level training school for Eastern European Pastors. Our team will take care of meal preparation and meal serving, grounds keeping, housekeeping, and maintenance while the students, professors are in class and preparing for their graduation ceremony.
CALL OUT: There are unique serving opportunities during this very special week that could include a pianist and vocalist(s) to help lead worship at the graduation.
IMPORTANT NOTES: You must be 21 or older to serve. Exceptions would be a person 18-21 who serves with a parent or guardian. Also NOTE that Austria does not have ADA laws and their facility/buildings are not ADA compliant. There are many stairs to climb in the course of a days work, so you must have good physical strength and stamina.
