Sunday 7th October: A Thief in the Night
Set in the early 1970s, this is one of the most widely viewed motion pictures of all time. A Thief in the Night tells the story of Patty, a young woman caught up in living for the present with little concern for the future. She meets and marries a young man and her life seems great, until one morning she awakens to find her husband gone and the radio reporting that millions of people have mysteriously disappeared. As dramatic, earth shaking events begin to unfold around her, Patty realizes she is living in the End Times spoken of in biblical prophecy. Adventure and suspense build to a climax in this powerful gripping film.
