Living Kingdom Culture involves getting outside the walls of the church. In a world where meaningful connections can be difficult to find, local gatherings are helping bridge the gap. By bringing people together, we can create welcoming spaces where people can build friendships, support one another, and grow together.

Summer Block Party
Sacramento, California, US
Families, children and bubble enthusiasts enjoyed a day of fun, fellowship and community connection as Bubbles in the Park returned on Saturday, July 18. Hosted by GC Sacramento, California, the free event began at 11 a.m. and continued throughout the day, offering a welcoming space for people of all ages to gather outdoors and enjoy the simple joy of blowing bubbles.
Guests were welcome to bring their own bubble supplies, and free bubbles were available throughout the event. In addition to bubbles, attendees could request prayer, enjoy a complimentary lunch, or take advantage of all three. Cold water and light refreshments were also provided while supplies lasted.
The event brought neighbors together while creating opportunities for meaningful conversations, family fun and community engagement. We relocated to Citrus Heights in June 2024 with the goal of building relationships and serving its new community.
GC Sacramento welcomed families again this year as children enjoyed their summer break. Attendees spent the day enjoying the park, fresh air and activities.
We developed the idea for Bubbles in the Park as a simple way to connect with local residents and provide a free family-friendly activity during the summer months.
Our hope is to continue offering events like this and become an active part of the community. We love meeting people, sharing conversations, and offering encouragement. Each year we give away hundreds of bottles of bubbles, snacks, and if they’d like, prayers. Bubbles are a reminder that some prayers are answered immediately — they ‘pop’ right away — while others seem to float for a while before the answer comes. We hoped the gathering left participants feeling encouraged and connected.
