Chinese New Year Party on Zoom

The Montgomery Chinese Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints held the Lunar New Year party on February 12, 2022. The party was planned by a committee led by President Charles Huang and organized by Jason Liu and Brad Johnson. The Branch wanted to use this opportunity to share spiritual thoughts with all the attendees and gauge interest in learning more about the diverse culture of the church.
