Welcome to series 2 of our podcast, Delve!

Each week a member of our clergy team will be interviewed by our Communications Lead, Sarah, on questions that have come in during our Sunday services.

This week she is joined by our Curate, Tasha! She answers questions on the talks from 7th January so if you haven’t listened to any of them already make sure you do that first!
