2026年春節聯歡晚會圓滿落幕
2026年2月28日
傳統、歡樂與社區的節慶盛會
2026年2月28日星期六晚，我們耶穌基督後期聖徒教會蒙郡國語分會在 Seneca Stake Center 舉辦了馬年春節聯歡晚會。近120位成員和朋友歡聚一堂，共度了一個難忘的夜晚——精彩的節目表演、有趣的互動遊戲、美味的食物，還有溫馨的團契時光。馬年象徵著活力、熱情和向前奔騰的動力——這些特質完美地體現了我們慶祝活動的精神。從充滿活力的舞獅表演到古箏的悠揚琴聲，每一個瞬間都展現了中華文化的豐富多彩和我們作為一個社區團聚的喜悅。
開場與晚餐
晚會於下午6點開始，由趙會長致開場詞，家庭們圍坐在裝飾精美的桌旁，大家一起享用美味晚餐，然後節目正式開始。舞獅表演
我們的男女青年用震撼人心的舞獅表演拉開了晚會的序幕！雷鳴般的鼓聲、清脆的鑼鈸聲和靈活的舞蹈動作將雄獅栩栩如生地呈現在大家面前，象徵著好運和驅邪避害。當雄獅"醒來"並在大廳中起舞時，觀眾爆發出熱烈的掌聲，為整個慶祝活動定下了歡樂的基調。古箏表演
在充滿活力的開場之後，氣氛轉為寧靜，夏冰姐妹帶領的古箏隊登台演出。她們演奏了兩首美妙的曲目：《元夕》——靈感來自宋代詩詞，描繪元宵佳節的盛景；以及《上春山》——歌頌春天萬物復甦的旋律。細膩流暢的琴聲將我們帶入千禧年中華音樂傳統，觀眾們聽得如痴如醉。兒童表演
我們的兒童會小朋友們帶著無限的活力和歡樂登台，表演了《歌聲與微笑》和《功夫寶寶》。他們燦爛的笑容、熱情的歌聲和可愛的動作溫暖了在場每個人的心。這些小小表演者提醒我們，孩子們為每一次慶祝活動帶來的純真和希望。男女青年短劇：《馬的肖像》
晚會最具創意的亮點之一是男女青年表演的短劇。故事講述了一匹馬非常想要一張自己的肖像畫。他找了三位不同的畫家，但每位畫家只能捕捉到他外表的一個面向──鬃毛、四腿或雄壯的姿態。馬很失望，幾乎要放棄了。但後來三位畫家決定合作，結合他們獨特的視角和才華。最終，他們一起創作了一幅完美的肖像畫，真正捕捉了這匹馬的精髓。這個迷人的故事傳遞了一個強烈的訊息：當我們攜手合作，欣賞每個人獨特的天賦時，我們能夠成就遠超個人的偉大事業。這是對團結與合作的美好提醒——這些正是我們社區的核心價值。
唱詩班表演
我們的唱詩班用兩首動人的歌曲為節目畫上了圓滿的句號：《漁歌子》——一首古典曲目，喚起漁民寧靜生活的意境；以及《難忘今宵》——一首在中國新年慶祝活動中常常演唱的經典歌曲。和諧的歌聲充滿了整個大廳，帶來溫暖和懷舊之情，完美地捕捉了團圓和祝福的精神。互動遊戲展台
表演結束後，賓客們前往三個互動遊戲展台，每個展位都提供了一種獨特的方式來體驗中華文化和傳統：揮毫送福
參與者透過教學影片學習書寫漢字"福"，意為幸運和幸福。每個人在紅色便條紙上寫下自己的祝福，然後貼在我們的社區祝福牆上。這面牆變成了新年希望和祝福的美麗拼圖。每位參與者都獲得了一個紀念鑰匙圈。七巧板馬
在七巧板展台，家人一起合作，用七塊幾何圖形拼出馬的形狀。這個古老的中國智力遊戲挑戰空間推理和耐心，深受兒童和成人的喜愛。成功完成拼圖的人獲得了一個神秘盲盒！拼馬字
最後一個攤位邀請參與者透過組合印在小卡片上的不同漢字零件，創造包含"馬"字旁的漢字。玩家在享受樂趣的同時學習了漢字結構——成功拼出三個正確漢字的人獲得了一套特別的積木作為獎品。特別感謝
如果沒有許多人的奉獻和辛勤工作，這次慶祝活動不可能如此成功：魏弟兄和鄧姊妹擔任了整個活動的主要協調人，管理從節目策劃到禮品採購的所有事務。他們甚至安排從中國運送精美的馬年禮品用於我們的遊戲！
馮家庭和方林蘇菲姐妹用他們精美的桌面裝飾將Seneca Stake Center變成了一個節日仙境。他們對細節的關注營造出溫馨美麗的氛圍，讓每個人都感到賓至如歸。
所有表演者、志工和家庭貢獻了他們的時間、才華和熱情——感謝你們讓這個夜晚真正難忘！
感謝每一位參加這個特別夜晚的人。祝大家新的一年充滿祝福、成長和歡樂！
馬年大吉！🐴🧧
Year of the Horse Celebration 2026
February 28, 2026
A Festive Evening of Tradition, Joy, and Community
On Saturday evening, February 28th, 2026, our Montgomery Mandarin Branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came together at the Seneca Stake Center to celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Horse. Nearly 120 members and friends gathered for an unforgettable evening filled with vibrant performances, interactive games, delicious food, and warm fellowship. The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, passion, and forward momentum—qualities that perfectly captured the spirit of our celebration. From the energetic lion dance to the serene sounds of the guzheng, every moment reflected the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and the joy of coming together as a community.Opening & Dinner
The evening began at 6:00 PM with welcoming remarks from our Branch President Zhao. Families gathered around beautifully decorated tables, enjoying a delicious dinner together before the performances began.Lion Dance Performance
Our Young Men and Young Women kicked off the evening with an electrifying lion dance! The thundering drums, crashing cymbals, and acrobatic movements brought the lion to life, symbolizing good fortune and warding off evil spirits. The audience erupted in applause as the lion "awakened" and danced through the hall, setting a festive tone for the entire celebration.Guzheng Performance
After the energetic opening, the atmosphere shifted to tranquility as Sister Xia Bing and her guzheng ensemble took the stage. They performed two stunning pieces: Yuan Xi, inspired by a Song Dynasty poem about the lantern festival, and Ascending the Spring Mountain, a melody celebrating the renewal of spring. The delicate, flowing notes transported us through centuries of Chinese musical tradition, leaving the audience mesmerized.Children's Performance
Our Primary children brought boundless energy and joy to the stage with their performances of Songs and Smiles and Kung Fu Kids. Their bright faces, enthusiastic singing, and adorable movements melted hearts throughout the audience. These young performers reminded us all of the innocence and hope that children bring to every celebration.Youth Drama: "The Horse's Portrait"
One of the evening's most creative highlight was a short play performed by our Young Men and Young Women. The story centered on a horse who desperately wanted a portrait of himself. He approached three different artists, but each could only capture one aspect of his appearance—his mane, his legs, or his powerful stance. Disappointed, the horse nearly gave up. But then the three artists decided to collaborate, combining their unique perspectives and talents. Together, they created a beautiful, complete portrait that captured the horse's true essence. This charming tale carried a powerful message: when we work together and appreciate each person's unique gifts, we can achieve something far greater than we could alone. It was a beautiful reminder of unity and collaboration—values at the heart of our community.Choir Performance
Our choir brought the program to a moving close with two heartfelt songs: Fisherman's Song, a classical piece evoking the peaceful life of fishermen, and Unforgettable Tonight, a beloved song often performed at Chinese New Year celebrations. The harmonious voices filled the hall with warmth and nostalgia, perfectly capturing the spirit of reunion and blessing.Interactive Game Stations
After the performances, guests were attracted to three interactive game stations, each offering a unique way to engage with Chinese culture and traditions:Calligraphy Blessing with "Fu" (福)
Participants learned to write the Chinese character "Fu" (福), meaning fortune and happiness, using instructional videos. Each person wrote their blessing on a red sticky note and added it to our community blessing wall. The wall became a beautiful mosaic of hopes and wishes for the new year. Everyone who participated received a commemorative keychain.Tangram Challenge
At the Tangram station, families worked together to arrange seven geometric pieces into the shape of a horse. This ancient Chinese puzzle challenged spatial reasoning and patience, making it a hit with both children and adults. Those who successfully completed the puzzle were rewarded with a mystery box!Chinese Character Puzzle
The final station invited participants to create Chinese characters containing the "horse radical" (馬) by combining different character components printed on small cards. Players learned about the structure of Chinese writing while having fun—those who successfully formed three correct characters earned a special building block set as a prize.Special Thanks
This celebration would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of so many individuals:Brother Wei and Sister Deng served as the primary coordinators for the entire event, managing everything from program planning to gift procurement. They even arranged for beautiful Year of the Horse gifts to be shipped from China for our games!
The Youth of the Branch opened the Lunar Celebration with a thunderous drum to wake up the Lions dancing from the back of the room into the front. The invigorated lions bowed to each other and then to the guests dancing each step of the way.
Sister Xia Bing and her GuZheng class with their beautiful dresses and amazing synchronized performance. Their music echoed wall to wall of vibrant historical power.
The Frewin Family and Sister Sophy Fugal transformed the Seneca Stake Center into a festive wonderland with their stunning table decorations. Their attention to detail created a warm and beautiful atmosphere that made everyone feel welcome and celebrated.
