This independent charitable organization, administered by community volunteers, is committed to their mission to preserve, restore, renew, and maintain the historic Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church Philadelphia buildings and grounds. During the evening fundraiser, attendees will be treated to a guided churchyard tour with stories about several illustrious permanent residents, including early settlers who came to what is now Philadelphia to seek commerce with the Lenape long before William Penn arrived. Inside Riverside Hall, there will be a blind wine tasting, sample hors d’oeuvres from local chefs and an auction, as well as live jazz music courtesy of The Jazz Sanctuary. The event, at Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Episcopal Church in Queen Village (8 Christian St., Philadelphia, PA 19147), is slated for 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Additional information is available at https://preserveoldswedes.org/event/spirits-and-history/.
