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 in Isaiah 7:1-9, we will see how God is present in our every crisis, ready to save if we will trust Him but kind enough to chastise us if we don’t.

This afternoon in 2 Samuel 3:1-21, we will learn how to count the cost of pursuing peace by submitting to God’s will in fidelity to God’s Word both in public and private life.

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