About the volunteering opportunity
The Simeon Church in Kirchrode is set to light up during the Advent and Christmas season!
It is located on the former Old and New Bethesda site, which is now used by DIAKOVERE. Among other things, it houses facilities for elderly care, the specialist training center and currently also the maternity ward. The special pentagonal church forms a central location on the site, which, with its beautiful old buildings and proximity to Großer Hillen in Kirchrode, is a point of attraction for many residents of the facilities and the district. A light installation will illuminate and highlight the interior of the church. During the Advent and Christmas season, it is intended to be a point of attraction and a place of rest and meeting for families, senior citizens, visitors to the hospital, etc. ...

Your Tasks
To ensure that the church can be open to visitors as much as possible during this time, we are looking for additional people to support our volunteers on site. They help to open the church, are available for visitors during opening hours and then close the visiting hours again. The most important thing is simply to be there at that time!
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, basic German skills are required.
Time required
Es wäre schön, wenn die Sonntage 29.12.24 und 5.1.25 sowie Donnerstag, der 2.1. 25 noch besetzt werden könnten.
Jeweils 14-16:30 Uhr.
