No special background is necessary, only an open heart and readiness to help. Steady stewardship keeps the temple a place for community gathering, healing, and growth, and it shares the load that might otherwise rest on a few people. Each task, whether large or small, sustains a setting marked by dignity, peace, and pride, keeps the Freedom Library accessible, helps visitors feel at home, and frees temple leadership to focus on programs, guidance, and community care. Volunteers are asked to wear modest, covered clothing in respect for the space. All cleaning materials and tools are provided.

WarhammerGreg Mendez and more
Greg Mendez shares the bill with Maria BC and Rui Gabriel. Known for songs that favor restraint and clarity, he pares things back to reveal sharp emotional truths. His album Beauty Land, a debut LP for Dead Oceans, is guided by a wry yet forgiving voice, an underdog perspective that holds cynicism and faith in delicate balance. The tracks are humble without self-pity, built on pop-leaning melodies, guitars that shimmer with urgency, and vocals that reach toward a clear, almost choral purity. Most of Beauty Land was recorded straight to tape, largely on his own in a small home studio in Philadelphia with no natural light. It is his first full-length since a self-titled 2023 breakthrough that grew steadily after 15 years of writing and recording between Philadelphia and New York. Beauty Land continues to explore grief, love, and addiction, presenting those themes with a quiet intensity that highlights his craft.

Twelve Mile LimitTemple Support
Temple Support is an ongoing volunteer effort that helps a sacred space remain cared for, peaceful, and ready to welcome all. Volunteers contribute to many different needs, such as dusting and wiping surfaces, sweeping and mopping, tending house plants, arranging flowers or offerings, tidying the altar and other sacred areas, organizing the Freedom Library, restocking essentials, handling trash and recycling, maintaining outdoor spaces and entryways, greeting and guiding visitors, setting up and breaking down for ceremonies, running simple errands for supplies, and assisting with basic administrative tasks. No prior experience is required. A willing heart and readiness to help are what matter most. This stewardship makes a difference for the whole community. Consistent care keeps the temple dignified and calm, a place where people can heal and grow. Without volunteers, the workload falls to only a few, so every set of hands shares the responsibility and lightens the burden. The results are tangible. The Freedom Library stays organized and easy to use, visitors find a welcoming environment, and temple leadership can focus on programming, guidance, and community care. Volunteers are asked to wear modest, covered clothing in respect for the setting. All tools and cleaning supplies are provided, so simply bring yourself and a spirit of service.
