Service times are subject to change so be sure to check either the back of "The Grapevine" parish magazine, the church noticeboard or the website mentioned above.
There are strong links with Madresfield C of E School located opposite the church, and parents are encouraged to join their children when events are held in church.
A popular Childrens' Service for pre-school children and parents is held at 2:00 pm, now on occasional Tuesdays in term time, lasting about thirty minutes. Details of this can also be found on the noticeboard page of the Parish of Guarlford website.
A team of volunteers from the parish are part of the Open the Book project, and each week the team visits Madresfield C of E School to present Bible stories during assembly, often dramatizing them. These assemblies are very popular with the children, who enjoy being involved in telling the stories.
