Sabino is also on standby for calls from the hospital or hospice chaplain when there is a need to visit a person, which she does regularly and on an as-needed basis. Brenda Hill, the church’s longest serving member since 1945, described the Foster Care/ Caregivers Night Out which she participates in to help provide foster parents and caregivers a few hours rest. “The kids come, we have a meal for them, games and crafts.
We also support the SHARE program.” Sabino provided a lighter side of the community supporting the church — and vice versa — by showcasing the small local artist gallery located downstairs in the church. Sabino explained, “We have a rotating artist gallery where local artist can show their art and people can purchase. We really like to support the local arts community.” The artists receive a nominal fee from a sale and donate the rest. Visitors can come during church office hours or call and make arrangements to visit the gallery. The legacy of the church is not only in preserving a part of Placerville’s history, but also in building up the present and future of the community sharing God’s love.
