It’s almost time to celebrate Christmas and enjoy summer holidays! ‘Tis the season for giving thanks. We offer you our thanks for your wonderful support. Whether you live in Aotearoa New Zealand or across the oceans, we are sustained by your encouragement and your prayers. We hope that you will be blessed with peace and love this Christmas time and in the year to come.

We want to offer much gratitude to John Cameron. who has served on the Governance Board of Vaughan Park for 21 years and recently announced his retirement. He has made a significant contribution to the life and continuity of Vaughan Park and we have valued his imaginative vision, insight and wisdom. We thank him for his service and for all that he has gifted to the life of Vaughan Park. A gathering will held in his honour in Autumn 2020.

Our thoughts also turn gratefully to our amazing staff – for their continuing hard work, dedication and warm hospitality.  We hope they enjoy a peaceful, happy and restful holiday over the Christmas season.
