When membership records are received in a ward, a member of the bishopric introduces and welcomes the members in the next sacrament meeting. He reads each person’s name, invites the person to stand, and asks the members of the congregation to show by the uplifted hand that they accept the members in full fellowship in the ward. Records of family members are read together.
The ward clerk or an assistant clerk meets with new ward members soon after their membership records arrive to review the Individual Ordinance Summary for accuracy.
