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 the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1-10, we will see how the Holy Spirit equipped and endowed Christ with all the gifts needed to change our hearts and to ultimately change the world.

 This Evening in 2 Samuel 10:1-19, we will consider the danger of spurning God’s kindness by a suspicious heart that questions God’s promises and thus questions His covenant character.

This Evening in 2 Samuel 10:1-19, we will consider the danger of spurning God’s kindness by a suspicious heart that questions God’s promises and thus questions His covenant character.

Fellowship Luncheon Next Sunday: Here is a description of what to expect; following morning worship, we will hold our monthly fellowship luncheon. These delicious luncheons are a potluck meal. We ask everyone who is able to join us to please bring a main dish and a side dish, salad or dessert. Bring enough for you, your family and a friend!

Trinity Hymnal Singing: We will be beginning to practice the Hymnal after the luncheon in the sanctuary before the AFTERNOON WORSHIP.
