A 9-slide PowerPoint presentation for the Week 19 Seminary Lesson: Doctrine and Covenants 46:1–6
"In 1831, because of persecutions and disruptions, some Saints began a practice of allowing only Church members to attend worship meetings. Concerned about this and other matters, Joseph Smith prayed for guidance and received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 46. In this revelation, the Savior commanded Church members to welcome all who were “earnestly seeking the kingdom” (Doctrine and Covenants 46:5) to attend worship services. This lesson can help students improve their efforts in creating a welcoming environment at Church meetings."
