Announcement for Family History Night

各位弟兄姐妹,蒙哥马利华禹分会的朋友们:

我们非常高兴的邀请你来参加我们 在11月9日晚上六点至八点举行的记录家谱活动。

教友们都知道, 完成家谱对于我们信仰非常重要。透过在圣殿中的仪式, 我们能为那些从来没有机会接受福音的祖先得到机会接受福音。

所有熟悉中国文化的朋友们也都知道,中国传统文化中,有崇尚先辈的习俗,记录家谱的传统已经传承了上千年。所以, 家族历史和完成家谱对每一个中国人都有很大的意义.

欢迎大家来参加我们这次介绍家谱的活动,在这次活动中,我们能够看到现代科技在记录家谱中的应用,使得记录千年的家谱变得十分简单。大家也可以在学习记录家谱的过程中,体会记录家谱的乐趣。

请各位带一份简单的菜肴与大家分享。

Brothers and Sister, Friends of the Montgomery Branch:

We would like to invite you to a very special Branch activity on the evening of November 9, 2013, from 6 to 8 PM. The theme of the activity will be family history.

For those of you who are members of our Church, you know the importance of doing genealogical research and temple ordinances for our ancestors who never had the opportunity to learn of the Gospel of Jesus Christ during their lifetimes.

For those of you who are familiar with Chinese culture and tradition, you also know that our people have a history of keeping records of our ancestors dating back hundreds, even thousands, of years.

Please come and see how the Church has integrated cutting-edge technology with a Chinese tradition that is thousands of years old. Most importantly, come and experience how family history research can be meaningful and fun for everyone in your family, young and young at heart.

Please bring a simple dish to share potluck style.

地点 (Location): 16 Kent Gardens Circle, Gaithersburg, MD 20878

日期与时间 (Date and Time): Saturday, November 9, 6 to 8 PM

Primary Activity

Today we just finished our Fall Festival activity in Primary today. Fifteen children were there this beautiful Saturday morning. We thank the parents, aunties, and teachers for their support. Without them, this activity would not be a fun and learning experience for the children. We also thank Sister Jeng for making all the phone calls to remind parents about the activity.

Our activity started around 10am with an opening prayer and song. We thank Sister Bates for preparing fun hands-on experiences. The children surely were having fun making gooey slime and decorating their own treat bags.

At 10:30am we divided the children into groups to attend four workshops. We thank Brother Tsai, Sister Megan Tsai, Brother and Sister Bates, and Sister Ly for their time in teaching those workshops. We can see that our children did enjoy the lessons and treats.

We ended our activity with a closing song ("A Child's Prayer"), a closing prayer, and light refreshments consisting of colorful popcorn (again thanks to Sister Bates) and some other healthy snacks (according to our definition of "healthy" :-) to balance out the candies.

This was a good activity which kept our children happy and learning at the same time. One of our star pupils, Amelia, said that it was her best day ever :-).
