"I suppose there may be a branch president or a high councilor or an
elders quorum president or a visiting teacher in the room who wants to
know what it is we are to accomplish as Church members when we get
together, even if it's only in a home evening group or an opportunity to
pray together. Well, this passage indicates that it may have something
to do with remembering each other. We all count. Everyone matters. We
have a name and it's recorded and we need to remember that here. No one
must get lost. "And their names were taken, that they might be
remembered and nourished by the good word of God. . . to keep them
continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of
Christ . . . to fast and to speak with one another concerning the
welfare of their souls . . . to observe that there should be no iniquity
among them"--what a great thought about meetings and what they are
supposed to do, what a Sunday School class can be, what a scriptural discussion in an apartment can be."
