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 in your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention. Pastor John 

 Today Mr. Kevin Vasquez will be opening God’s Word for us.

This morning in Exodus 20 we will learn that “God's call to His covenant people is no mere exercise in rules and regulations but an invitation to know Him as He is in His glory and grace.” 

This afternoon in 3 John we will see that “the Scripture guides us at every turn to choose good or evil.  We will learn from 3 John how that task is impossible apart from our righteous Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.”

 Fellowship Luncheon Today: Following the morning worship we will be having our monthly fellowship potluck luncheon. Please plan to join us!

 2022 OPC Thanksgiving Offering: This year’s theme is “O Taste and See That the Lord is Good”. Through this offering, we support the work of Worldwide Outreach of the OPC. This includes the important work of Christian Education, Home Missions, and Foreign Missions. There is a video featuring the work of Foregin Missions on OPC.ORG or Grace OPC Facebook.

 Keegans on Study Leave/Vacation: Pastor John will be on Study Leave from November 7 to November 13. Pastor John and HaeSung will be on vacation from November 14 to November 20. Mr. Kevin Vasquez will be exhorting in the morning and afternoon services on November 13. Rev. John Vroegindewey will preach in the morning and Rev. Sam Perez will preach in the evening on November 20.
