Prayers and Bears is a service for pre-school children and babies, and their parents and carers.

It is a wonderful mix of songs, treasure hunts, prayers, stories and crafts, lasting for 25 minutes, and followed by time for refreshments and play.

Prayers and Bears is hosted by Earlsdon Methodist Church and led by Tulo, the vicar at St Barbara's.

The doors open from 8.45am so parents and carers dropping off older children at school don't have to go home but can come and relax in the cafe area at the Methodist Church. The service begins at 9.30am, but don't worry if you are late - we appreciate that getting out the door with little ones can be a challenge at times!

After the service, many parents and carers choose to stay behind for another 45 minutes or so, chatting while their children play. Refreshments are free.

Do come and join us - it would be lovely to see you!

St. Barbara's, Earlsdon

Saint Barbara’s Church is the parish church of Earlsdon, in Coventry. It is a warm and welcoming community, where people of every generation mix and enjoy being together.

Our services have great variety, from the quiet, meditative services of our weekly 8am communion, to our sung, more traditional morning services led by our excellent choir, to our more ‘boisterous’ and inter-active all-age services and monthly Buzz at St B’s services.

Do come along and join us. We would love to get to know you.
