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 we welcome back Mr. Kevin Vasquez, a member of Grace OPC and WTS MDiv student. In Matthew 3:13-17 we will see in the baptism of Jesus at the Jordan, the anticipation that Christ will endure (and now has) the wrath of God for His people.

This evening in 2 Samuel 6:12-23, we will learn how the worship of God takes hold of the whole person such that we, with singleness of purpose, glorify and enjoy God as our chief end.
