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 Keegan 

Pastor John preaching at Hudson Valley URCNA NY

Pastor John has been invited to preach God’s Word in the morning worship service at Hudson Valley URNCA.

This morning Kevin Vasquez will open God’s Word in Matthew 4:18-22, where we will hear that the mission of God in Christ is a proclaimed message by chosen vessels for great, godly and glorious gain.

This evening  in 2 Samuel 21:15-22, we will learn that while there are no vacations from sanctification and the spiritual warfare we face, in reliance on Christ we can stand, resist, and persevere until our journey ends and we enter into His rest.
