The Mid- Autumn Moon Festival is a popular East Asian celebration of abundance and togetherness, dating back over 3,000 years. This festival began in China during the Zhou Dynasty. It began with the Han Chinese(Kensli is Han Chinese) and some other minorities. Sometimes it is referred to as the Latern Festival or "Mooncake Festival."
The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8 lunar month of the Chinese calendar(around mid- or late-Sepetember). This the best time, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, to celebrate the abundance of the harvest. The mooncake is the traditional food of this festival.

Tonight we will try to gaze at the moon! It has been so cloudy lately that it has been impossible! Tonight as we gaze up at the moon, we will be thankful for all that God has given us, and we will think of our family and friends near and far.
