Dear Brothers and Sisters, and friends of the Montgomery Branch:

This month, Chinese communities across the world celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon festival. The theme of the Moon Festival is family unity as symbolized by the “fullness” of the moon this time of year. Please join the Montgomery Branch for a celebration of Moon Festival and family unity on September 21 from 6-8PM. The address is 16 Kent Gardens Circle, Gaithersburg, MD 20878.

We also believe that the symbolism of unity not only has meaning to our own families, but to the Church family as well, for we “... are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19).

We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the Moon Festival.

(Please bring your favorite dish to share)

Happy Moon Festival!
THE BRANCH PRESIDENCY

Youth Temple Activity

On a cool Thursday evening in August, we had an opportunity to meet at the temple for a baptismal activity.  We congregated at the front desk.  The youth were able to walk through part of the temple into a waiting room.  We met members of the Spanish ward, with whom we would share this time for service.  Then we descended to the font.  The 4 young women who attended, including 2 for the first time, had a great experience.  Sister Sun also came to do baptisms.  Afterwards, the youth enjoyed ice cream and Swiss chocolate at the Ward's.
