Standalone doctrinal study — independent of this week's Come Follow Me block.
I first checked both rsc.byu.edu and josephsmithpapers.org for materials related to welcoming and including all in Christ's covenants and house. While both sites contain a wealth of information, a search of general conference talks provided a particularly direct and accessible source aligning with the morning's intention regarding extending genuine Christlike welcome and inclusion.
Here's a summary of the source:
Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke about the importance of belonging in the Church, emphasizing that every individual, regardless of their background or current circumstances, is a beloved child of God and has a place in His Church. He taught that true belonging comes through our divine identity and the covenants we make, and that we, as members, have a sacred responsibility to extend Christlike love and friendship to everyone, helping them feel included and valued. Elder Soares invited all to come unto Christ, embrace His gospel, and find true joy and peace through participation in His Church.

Elder Soares stresses that our divine identity and covenants are the basis for true belonging. How might focusing on these eternal truths help us overcome superficial differences or societal divisions that sometimes hinder us from fully embracing and including others in the Lord's house?
Considering this morning's intention to "actively extend genuine, Christlike welcome and inclusion to all, recognizing that every soul is invited to partake of the Lord's covenants and find peace in His house," what is one specific action you could take this week to help someone feel more deeply loved and included within the Church community?
