Sister Eveleen Retreat House may need you!!

Sister Eveleen Retreat House (SERH) is perched on the hill overlooking Sumner Beach.

It is a place steeped in prayer and offering opportunities in contemplative Christian spiritual practice.

 

The house accepts guests all year around, runs regular retreats, and hosts a wide range of Christian groups.

 

We have a vacancy for a Live-in Retreat House Host (RHH), paid 10 hours a week, accommodation provided. The RHH works with the Director to provide a hospitable welcome to guests and a presence at the house when the Director has left for the day.

We’re looking for someone who has a strong, firmly rooted, Christian faith, someone who has a heart for the contemplative expression of faith as a way for God to be closely present.

Are you comfortable welcoming strangers, discerning when to chat and when to be silent,

mature and responsible? This might be more than just a role; it could be a calling for someone who feels drawn to a ministry of hospitality and contemplative service. You might be on sabbatical, writing/researching/working from home, or in a transitional stage of your life. (with the possibility of a 6 -12 months role)

Still Interested??

If you think Retreat House Host sounds like you, please ask for a ministry description, or arrange a visit to Sister Eveleen Retreat House, by contacting the Director, Antje Duda antje_duda@sistereretreat.com, phone 022 563 6879. We would welcome your expression of interest, so please email a 1-page summary of who you are, what you’ve got to offer,

and how this role might work from your perspective to the chair of the Oversight Board to by Friday, 11th October 2024.
