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 5:22-23 having learned last Sunday that the Holy Spirit is the agent of the transformed and liberated life, this morning we will see that the fruit of the Spirit-led life is the evidence of the heart of Christ in the soul of the Christian. This evening Mr. Kevin Vasquez will exhort in Acts 1:1-11 where we will learn that it is because the Lord Jesus Christ has ascended and is exalted that His church is able to fulfill His commission and advance His kingdom by the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

In Christ’s service, John Keegan, Pastor
