Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Just show up on a meal night, or call the church office at 215-389-1513 or email info@old-swedes.org to RSVP if you can.

You can just show up. No sign up needed.

What to expect

Volunteers cook and get the meal ready in the church kitchen on a weeknight evening, from 6:30 to 9 pm. The meal supports the St. Gabriel's congregation in North Philadelphia, and the page does not list a cost to take part.

Tips for your first visit

  • Tell the church office you are coming if you can, so someone knows to expect you
  • Plan for an evening trip, since the page does not list parking or transit
  • Ask what to wear or bring, because the page does not say

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The event page invites people to just show up and says an RSVP is optional, with a named contact and general church line..
