The Hiding Place is being performed by The Oddment Theatre Company at St Nicholas Church, Cuddington on Monday 3rd December at 7.30pm.  Tickets are available through their Benefice Office at St Mary’s Centre, Haddenham or online at www.oddments-theatre.co.uk.  Ticket price is £10. The play is the incredible story of the Ten Booms, a devoted Christian family who felt they couldn’t just watch the devastating circumstances of the Jews so they acted and set out on an incredible rescue mission.  This led to Corrie and her sister being imprisoned in the Second World War.  The production focuses on God’s influence on Corrie’s life and how God gave her the strength and means to do His work in terrible circumstances. Book early to avoid disappointment!...
