WELCOME TO GRACE OPC!  On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  It is my hope and prayer that as we gather together this Lord’s Day to worship our Triune God and Redeemer, you will be encouraged to cast your cares upon the Lord and to draw near to God by faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  If you are new here in Fair Lawn, please join us for fellowship following the benediction, and be sure to sign our guestbook. We look forward to personally speaking with you, and if there are any prayer concerns on your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.

This morning in Galatians 5:19-21, we will see how the warning of the Apostle against the practice of “disinheriting sins” is a powerful, sanctifying message to train us to walk by the Spirit.

This evening in 1 Samuel 17:1-11 we will learn that the remedy for paralyzing fear when spiritual opposition confronts us, is to reflect upon the covenant character of our great God and Savior.

In Christ’s service, John Keegan, Pastor
