Sacramento Vineyard ChurchSacramento Christian Speed Dating | IYKYK Dating | 20s-30s | 8/4/26
A faith-focused speed dating experience brings Christian singles together for intentional, low pressure conversations. It is designed for those who love Jesus, care about health, and hope to have children, and it is not intended for anyone seeking casual hookups, regularly skipping church, or not wanting kids. Expect 7 to 15 quick one-on-one chats, each just a few minutes, to see if there is a connection. Women remain at assigned tables while men rotate, and a friendly host handles check-in, keeps the flow moving, and makes sure no one is left wondering what to do next. A simple web profile is set up beforehand to streamline the process, and after the event a digital matching system shares mutual matches so there is no pressure to exchange numbers on the spot. Attendees have shared stories of meeting their future spouse, enjoying the intentional space, and finding that conversations develop naturally. If you are not feeling well, the organizers encourage giving your ticket to someone of the same gender to help keep balanced ratios. Purchasing a ticket grants permission for photos and videos from the event to be used for promotional purposes. The team reserves the right to remove anyone at any time. They are not liable for illness, harm, stolen items, or outcomes, and participants are not vetted. Harassment is not tolerated.

William Land Golf CourseThe Greyboy Allstars
Harlow's presents an all ages evening with The Greyboy Allstars, a group that has helped define American groove music for more than three decades by blending jazz, soul, and funk with hip hop swagger and adventurous improvisation. Emerging from the 1990s San Diego scene, the band made its mark with West Coast Boogaloo, a debut created with funk icon Fred Wesley that powered the West Coast’s acid jazz and funk revival. They expanded that foundation on A Town Called Earth, weaving in cosmic jazz touches and cinematic textures. Both albums continue to influence modern groove culture, frequently sampled and referenced by DJs, beatmakers, and rising jazz artists around the world. The band continues to evolve with Grab Bag: 2007–2023, a compilation of previously unreleased tracks, deep cuts, and left-field gems recorded over the last fifteen years. Spanning tight rhythm workouts to spacey, organ-driven explorations, it highlights a group that remains inventive and deeply in the pocket. The lineup features saxophonist and flutist Karl Denson, whose fiery approach reflects the soul-jazz lineage of Sonny Rollins and the grit of Maceo Parker; he leads his own Tiny Universe and has long toured with The Rolling Stones. Keyboardist Robert Walter, a master of the Hammond B3, supplies deep grooves, rich harmonies, and fearless improvisation informed by acclaimed solo work and collaborations. Guitarist Michael Andrews, also known as Elgin Park, brings melodic focus inspired by Grant Green and Wes Montgomery and the perspective of a celebrated film composer with credits including Donnie Darko and Pharrel’s Piece by Piece. On bass, Chris Stillwell anchors the music with fluid, funky lines that fuse Motown depth with California cool, while drummer Aaron Redfield delivers nuance and power, from crisp breakbeats to expansive jazz interplay, driving the band’s ever-developing sound.

The Press ClubAli's Friday Arcade Crk Cleanup @ Epic Bible College, 8/28/26
This creek cleanup focuses on the Arcade Creek corridor behind Heritage Oaks Hospital and Epic Bible College after a summer of clearing roughly two miles through Del Paso Regional Park. The plan is to park in the back lot at Epic Bible College, begin by moving downstream, then work back upstream along the predominantly dry channel and the tops of the banks toward Pasadena Avenue, about two thirds of a mile upstream from the Auburn Blvd Bridge. The route is largely shaded and includes leftover litter from past encampments and illegal dumping, along with some debris that arrived over the winter. Bags will be provided. Please bring plenty of drinking water, sturdy waterproof footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves. A cultivator or shovel could be helpful, and a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. There may be shallow water in the creek, so boots are recommended. Waders are not necessary, but anyone choosing to step into water must wear rain boots or waders. Some entry points to the channel are challenging and may require a rope, while other areas are flat and easy to access. Do only what feels comfortable, and you may leave at any time. This event is not suitable for children under 14. Participants ages 14 and up must be supervised by a responsible adult for the entire duration. Participation is at your own risk.
