Welcome to St. Paul Lutheran Church of Bellville Ohio!
Welcome to St. Paul Lutheran Church. We are a mid-size congregation located in the middle of Bellville, Ohio. More than geographic location, we are located in the heart of God. We have experienced God’s wonderful love poured out upon us and are passionate about sharing that love with others. In order to live fully in God’s love we seek to trust God with all our heart. This is not easy to do but as we learn God’s loving desires for us, we cannot help but tell others about God’s love and care for others using the gifts God has given us.

Holy Communion
Deuteronomy 11:18-21 Psalm 31 Romans 1:16-17 Matthew 5:1 - 7:29
The Sermon on the Mount
The Gospel of Matthew was written primarily to a Jewish audience. One of their
primary teachings
is that through obedience to the Torah-God’s Commandments - we live a blessed
life. In Jesus’ most
famous sermon, The Sermon on the Mount, recorded in Matthew’s Gospel, we hear
how Jesus takes
that teaching and reinterprets it. Today Pastor Doug will be telling the Sermon
on the Mount so that
you can hear Jesus’ words spoken directly to you.

Only the Sick Want Healing
Jesus came to heal the sick. This included spiritual healing as well as physical
healing. Today we
not only hear the promise of healing that Jesus brings, but we will also take
the opportunity to pray
for that healing to come to those who desire it.

Jeremiah 28:5-9 Psalm 89 Romans 6:12-23 Matthew 10:40-42
Jesus said to his disciples as he was sending them out to minister in his
name, “Whoever welcomes
you welcomes me.” What does it mean to welcome someone? How are we as a Ministry
Body
welcoming others? What makes a person feel welcome week after week? What makes
us feel
unwelcome? This Sunday our guest preacher is Dawn Armstrong, and one aspect
of her ministry
is helping people feel welcome and to be welcome.
