Small Group Bible Study
Small Groups Provide
- Opportunities to grow in relationship with God.
- Opportunities to grow in relationship with others.
- A place to care and to be cared for.
- A place to use gifts and talents in ministry.
Defining a couple of terms will be helpful as you look at the following small group opportunities:
 When the letters CC appear by a group's description, it means that the leader of the group has completed sixteen sessions of classes to prepare to become a ChristCare small group leader. Leaders who have been instructed in ChristCare will continue to meet with other leaders once a month for SEA Group (Support, Encouragement, and Accountability).
Together in the Word (TIW)
TIW has three components: Individual reading of a text, small group discussion and large group lecture.
Individuals will read a text and then meet in small group to discuss the reading. Pastor Dan offers a lecture on the historical setting and theological significance of the text on Sundays during the education hour.

Climbing Your Family Tree
The Genealogy Group at Shepherd of the Hills
(updated 21Nov09)
Welcome to our website! I'm excited to be able to share information on genealogy with you through this website. Please contact me if you have ideas or suggestions for what works and what doesn't work on this page. Send an email to robert.anderson@att.net with your ideas or if you want to be included in the SHLC Genealogy Group email updates. Many thanks for visiting and come back often!
Where We Meet and What We Do
Our group meets on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 2pm-4pm. For the first Saturday of the month we meet at SHLC at 1:30pm and I drive our group downtown to the Texana Genealogy department at the San Antonio Public Library. Texana offers free lectures on different genealogy topics on the first Saturday of each month. More about Texana is below. For the third Saturday of the month we meet at SHLC at 2:00pm at the school library. The school library has big tables where we can spread our genealogy stuff out and organize our research. We also have access to the library's computers on which we do genealogy research. I bring in videos to watch and light snacks and beverages.
Upcoming Schedule
21 November 2009: Meeting at the SHLC school library from 2-4pm.
5 December 2009: We'll be heading downtown to the Texana Branch of the San Antonio Public Library. We'll meet out front of the SHLC school library at 1:30pm. There is no lecture going on at Texana, but we will still go down there to check out their facility.
19 December 2009: We'll be taking this day off for the Christmas holiday.
2 January 2010: We'll be taking this day off for the New Year's Day holiday.
January-March 2010: We'll be taking a few months off. I'll be on a temporary duty assignment for work. Look at this page for more information in the months to come.
Genealogy 101
There are a lot of resources available to us for genealogy. I will include some links below which should be helpful for the beginner as well as someone who has been doing their family history for a long time:
If you are brand new to family history, you should start with yourself and what you know and work backwards. Start by using a generic Ancestral Chart to record your information. By using this chart, you will be able to have on paper what you know and what you don't know about your family history.
The next step would be to talk to your parents and your relatives to find out what information they know. Always remember to double check your information for accuracy.
Genealogy Programs for the Computer
You will soon find that the ancestral chart on which you started is quickly getting filled up. There are several family tree programs for your computer, which can help you in organizing your material.
The least expensive program is the Personal Ancestry Finder (PAF) that can be found on the FamilySearch.org website. You will find the link on this page under the "Free PAF Family History Software" paragraph. When you click on the "Download PAF" link on that page, you will have to register, but you will only be asked for your first name, last name, and email address.
Another genealogy program that is widely used is Family Tree Maker. This program allows you to keep track of your ancestors, find out how long-lost Aunt Mable is related to you, as well as publish your family tree so that you can share your information with your family and friends.
Texana Genealogy Department
Now back to Texana for a minute. In addition to offering monthly lectures, they have quite an impressive collection of genealogy holdings. They also offer free access to the multitude of documents that Ancesty.com has stored on their website. The library has an account with Ancestry.com and if you have a library card, you can have access to this account. By the way, each branch of the San Antonio public library has access to the information on Ancestry.com, not just Texana. Once you are on one of the computers at a public library branch, go to Articles and Databases from the Texana Genealogy department's homepage.
In addition to Ancestry.com, which is only accessable from a library terminal, the library also offers access to Heritage Quest from your home computer. You simply go to the San Antonio Library homepage and click on Articles and Databases. Click next on "HeritageQuest Online". This will take you to a page where you have to put in your name and library card number. Once at HeritageQuest Online, you can search census records, books, and any of their other resources. One of the other things they offer is their South Texas Researcher which is a monthly publication of genealogy news.
As you can see, we have a wealth of information at our fingertips.
Honor Your Father and Mother
We are honoring our fathers and mothers by researching our family histories and telling their stories. So come out to one of our meetings and explore your family history with us!

- A caring Christan friend who listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages
- Someone who will "be there" for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about an hour each week for as long as there's a need
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galations 6:2

Women's Sunday Morning Bible Study
 9:30 a.m. in the Church Parlor
The Heart of Jesus:
Women of the Gospel of Luke
Women in the Gospel of Luke is a DVD/discussion Bible study. Today's women meet the women
who spoke with Jesus; who were challenged by Jesus; and who grieved along the road to the tomb and
rejoiced on Easter morning.
It's unlikely that any of us today quite comprehends the routines of lifestyles of the women Luke writes about,
but we deeply understand their themes and emotions. We feel the same anxieties and joys, have the same hopes
and dreams. We share the same Savior and His blessings, assurances of forgiveness, and promises of hope throught Him.
This study will help you connect with Scripture in a way that deepens your understading of how God works in all
aspects of your life. And you may respond in the same way these women did--by reaching out to Him for healing,
serving Him as you are able, sharing His Good News with others, and rejoicing in the gift of faith that His
death and resurrection are real and true, for Him and and for us.
This is the heart of Jesus' Gospel!

Youth ministry here at Shepherd of the Hills is about building relationships. We strive in helping to connect youth and families to each other and to Christ. One of the ways this happens is by providing opportunities where these connections can occur. Youth not only become part of a strong Christian community, but also grow personally in their faith and learn how Christ is part of their everyday lives.
