The bible is our true treasure!

Lincoln got to experience his second year at st Anne's vbs this summer.  As we were walking to class Friday morning, he said that he was excited about performing on stage for everyone.  That he was kinda shy last time but he's ok this time.  "Following Jesus" was his class song, and he knew all the words and movements.  Good job Lincoln bear!

Here he is with his teacher Mrs. Dominguez during the morning blessing.

Praise and worship!

Sporting his Sea creatures sun visor craft:

Home made play dough with classmates.
Another craft:

Son treasure island, where he discovered confidence... And that the true treasure is the bible!
