SITTING DUCKS |
|
Sitting Ducks is an opportunity for groups of young people (14 years and over) within parishes to come together and learn about God. The project helps them expand and explore their faith through fun, games and relevant issues and resources. WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM? ‘Later on, Sennacherib, who had set up camp a few miles away at Lachish, sent messengers to Jerusalem, addressing Judah through Hezekiah: "A proclamation of Sennacherib king of Assyria: You poor people—do you think you're safe in that so-called fortress of Jerusalem? You're sitting ducks. Do you think Hezekiah will save you? Don't be stupid—Hezekiah has fed you a pack of lies. When he says, 'God will save us from the power of the king of Assyria,' he's lying—you're all going to end up dead.’ 2 Chron 32:9 (The Message) Sitting Ducks began in Derry, a walled city like Jerusalem. The enemy taunted the people inside the city of Jerusalem saying that they were like ‘sitting ducks’. The king however reminded the people not to be afraid ‘for there is a greater power with us than with him.’ 2 Chron 32:7. Sitting Ducks is a group that seeks to encourage and strengthen young people in their faith in a way that is culturally appropriate.
Come along and see!
