With that out of the way, we are now officially beginning our study through the Sermon on the Mount! With that being said, I wanted to highlight two things. 1\) We have now moved our **leader and study guides to Google Docs** rather than attach a PDF or a Word.docx. We think this will helpful for a multitude of reasons, but the biggest reason is that we think it'll be much more accessible. More instruction is found in the opening letter of the study guide! 2\) Finally, as was mentioned on Sunday, we want to encourage our church to **commit to attending third service** as a means of serving our church in this season. So leaders, please emphasize this and even consider going together as a small group! With much love, Pastor Mat --- # **SG Study Guides and Leader Forms** [Study Guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12-eifUN37PMVgGmHJ1z8kuavCbuLoBtUOqC6_Be6rdA/edit?usp=sharing) [Leader Guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CHBNj0R6hoez4ZuhT11Dl0ugArdHYbUKwpNaITPWaeA/edit?usp=sharing) You can check out [Sunday's sermon](https://lighthousesouthbay.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3a4b841580101821bfde5765&id=1a97a05e20&e=260b0bf9c3) for anyone who missed it or wants to re-listen to it.
