WELCOME TO GRACE OPC!  On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  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 our second of a four-part sermon series on shepherding we will see how the Lord Jesus Christ provides His church with godly leaders whose faith we can imitate. 

This evening in 1 Samuel 23:1-14 we will see that Christians are at their best when they, like David, evidenced their absolute dependence on God by habitually inquiring of the Lord for guidance.
