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 

This morning Rev. John Vroegindewey will open God’s Word in Job 42, where we will see how God, in His revelation of Himself as the Lord full of compassion and mercy, ministers His grace to us in our sufferings.

 This evening Rev. Sam Perez will open God’s Word in Philippians 4:10-13 where we will learn that: Discontentment is a disease of the heart that speaks lies about God, and the cure to this disease is to turn to our good, sovereign, wise Father, who loves us, cares for us, and gives us what we need.

 Thanksgiving Eve Service

Join us for our annual worship service of Thanksgiving, Prayer and Praise on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at 7 PM. A time of refreshments and fellowship will follow.
