Indoor Members
Indoor Members have a prayer diary, a Christmas card and letter from the President. At Easter they also get a card and letter, often from the Chaplain. It is the responsibility of the Branches to keep in touch and inform the Liaison officer when a 90 or 100 birthday is coming up. Also to inform the Liaison Officer when a member dies.
Resources
The committee members are available for help and some give talks. The Chaplain is always ready to give help. There is also a folder with ideas for prayers, talks, meditation, and readings. There are useful books of prayers produced by the Mothers' Union. The Marketing Officer is ready to help with finding appropriate books.
