Landlubbers

Landlubbers

Landlubbers are pirates searching for hidden treasure on a desert island. They discover the greatest treasure of all - knowing Jesus. That's what the apostle Paul discovered and shared with Jesus' followers in Philippi. Landlubbers, an eye level project, is a flexible, energetic programme for 5 to 11-year-olds which introduces children to Jesus and invites them to become his followers, whether they are part of a church community or not.

The Landlubbers Resource Book is a holiday club programme that has been devised from a local church setting and is designed to be used with groups of all sizes. There is material for a five day holiday club and for a follow-up Sunday service. . See the contents list below.

Our support material is available on DVD. Five episodes of around seven minutes present the stories for each day, and the DVD also includes the Landlubbers song with backing track, and additional materials to help you prepare for your Landlubbers holiday club.

The Landlubbers Logbook is a specially designed activity book which includes the text of Paul's letter to the Philippians – to use in the club and as a souvenir to take home… essential for any pirate who wants to know how to do the right thing!

You can order theLandlubbers resource book, DVD, Landlubbers Logbook, and more online.
Publicity materials including posters, banners and invitations for Landlubbers are also available from Christian Publicity Organisation (CPO) - see link on the right.
