Discipleship and Education
by David Sweet

We had over 60 at the "Tell It" breakfast Saturday, sharpening our understanding of the gospel and learning how to deliver the good news.  Please let me know if you would like to be part of a private Facebook group in which we talk about our praying and planning for our delivery of the gospel.  Helpful ideas, articles, videos and testimonies will be shared. [email protected]

Hays Hills member Luis Cabrera was saved as an adult in Miami listening to the radio while driving. He was a Cuban immigrant who lived in a worldly way. But his car radio dial was broken and he was unable to change stations and so kept listening to the Christian station that was playing a sermon. With nothing else to listen to he heard the whole sermon and  came to faith in Christ. Like CS Lewis he left on his trip spiritually dead, and arrived at his destination with life.   Luis likes to have the gospel in tract form available for fellow runners at the Town Lake trails. He sets up a card table and gives out free cold water and invites questions about the gospel or the faith. Here's a brief video of his advice on gospel telling.

"I was hungry, and you fed me."  Thanks to our team that helps feed the needy families and the homeless in East Austin at the Austin Baptist Chapel:  Glinda Blank,  Barby Bowles,  Sandy Baker,  Dorothy Eddings,  Ruth Hansen,  Linda Hewitt,  Anita Stubblefield,  Jim & Jean Auchey.

Baptisms will be Sunday morning, January 26.  Please contact Pastor Aaron or me if you need more information.

Children's Ministry
by Ethan Graves

HHCM is starting off the new year strong thanks to the Lord's kindness and your prayers + support! Thank you for loving the kids of our church! 

The picture to the left is our group of TNT (3rd-5th grade) at AWANA. We started back last Wednesday with 54 kids 5 of whom are new faces :). This semester, in addition to memorizing scripture, we will learn more about who Jesus is and how to study the Bible. There is a huge opportunity to be involved in the lives of our kids by coming from 6:45 to 7:13 and listening to them say scripture verses. If you are interested in serving in this way, please email me at  [email protected] . 
From Pastor Aaron

We have the great privilege to set apart time in our services on Sunday to set apart two of our members, William and Margaret Harvey, for the gospel ministry as hospital chaplains. We'll have time for the elders and our members to lay hands on them and pray for them as we ordain them to this ministry. I'm thankful for the ways the Lord is ministering through them!

Then at our members' meeting, this Sunday at 6pm, we'll be providing an update on our search process for a minister of music and creative arts, discussing continued interim plans, and recommending some changes to clarify how we handle interim staffing.

Be in prayer for our students who are headed to Highland Lakes for their winter retreat. I'm praying for the Lord to use the weekend in the lives of our students to give them a clearer picture of the enormity of God's love for them.
Prayer Requests

We are very sad to report that church member Art Gurley passed away early Monday morning due to complications from gall bladder surgery.  Sad for us--but now he has pure joy!  

For the Lord to continue to bless our church with faithful elders and deacons who meet the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3.

That as a church we might "bear fruit in every good work and increase in the knowledge of God." (Colossians 1:10)

For our search team to be led to the person God would have to serve as our Minister of Music and Creative Arts.

Whittaker family, as Garrett has been deployed (stateside) for a year and Sethie is due in mid-Feburary. 

Carole Turner was in ICU last weekend due to heart issue.  She received a pace-maker and is at home.

Bob Straub recovering from complications with ulcers and low blood levels.

Our Christian sympathy is extended to Harry Stracener in the loss of his sister.
