Coffee Cup

Coffee Cup is held in the Leyland Rooms from 10am to 12noon, Monday to Friday.

We aim to provide a welcoming and friendly atmosphere not only for church members, but for the wider community too. Young and old alike are welcome to pop in for a friendly chat plus coffee, tea and homemade cake. We also stock a good range of greeting cards and gift-wrap which has proved very popular.
 

Please Note this service is suspended until the Epsom Methodist Church redevelopment is completed, expected date is Easter 2008

We have a regular team of helpers and a number of "reserves" that are willing to stand in when needed. All profits are donated to organisations within the church or charities in the local community.

Coffee Cup 20^th Birthday Celebrations

On Monday 26^th April 2005 Coffee Cup celebrated its 20^th birthday with a buffet lunch at the lovely home of Pam Olsen. The occasion was enjoyed by 32 past and present helpers and guests Monica and Michael Whelton.

Coffee Cup opened on April 25^th 1985 with a loan of £100 from the Church Council and £20 from each of the founder members. The first cup of coffee was served to John Barff and we waited for our customers to roll in! We soon repaid the loans and before long had donated the first £100 to the Northern Ireland Children's Holiday Fund.

During the last 20 years, Coffee Cup has been able to donate over £20 000 to Epsom Methodist Church and a wide range of charities. The sale of greetings cards, which has proved very popular, has contributed to this sum.

Our aim in Coffee Cup is to provide a friendly atmosphere - where people from within and outside the church feel able to come and relax - and offer a listening ear if necessary.

We have been blessed with enormous support from all our helpers and of course our customers. From day one we have been desperate for more room; dare we hope the day is at last getting nearer?

During the week of our birthday, as a gesture of thanks to our customers, we charged half price for everything. Sorry if you missed it but we are open every weekday morning from 10.00 to 12.00 so why not come in and have a coffee with us.

We look forward to seeing you.

Audrey Howe and Pam Olsen
