Church Notes

Here's what's happening at Whidbey churches and places of worship.

Mike and Claire Fedele, missionaries who are on furlough from Tanzania where they lead the Village of Living Hope organization, will be presenting a DOCUMENTARY on the life of two people with albinism which paints a picture of their lives in Tanzania as they face the myths and dangers surrounding this disorder. Come and hear what Living Hope is doing in Tanzania concerning children with albinism. In east Africa, children and people with albinism are hunted, attacked and killed for their body parts because of the belief in black magic. The presentation will be at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Grace by the Sea Anglican Church, 540 SE Pioneer Way, Oak Harbor. 360-679-3431.
