What doth God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?

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 

This morning in our second of a two-part sermon series on 1 Peter 4:7-11, we will learn that by serving one another in mutual ministry, in all things God is glorified through Jesus Christ, and His glory and dominion are on display.

This evening, in Mark 1:4-8, we will see that John’s baptism of repentance was both a commandment to be obeyed but also a lesson to be learned about our sin and Jesus’ power to save.

The Lord’s Supper: All who may participate in the Lord’s Supper are those who have publicly confessed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who continue steadfastly in that faith, who are members of good standing in a particular disciplined and Bible believing manifestation of His Church, and who, in accordance with the Scriptures, have duly examined their hearts before the Lord. If you are a visitor unknown to us and wish to participate in the Lord’s Supper we ask you, if it is possible, to make yourself known to a member of Session before the beginning of worship. The ushers will happily assist you in so doing.

Zoom Community Connect: w/ Ribeiros in Portugal & Gaskins in Panama, Next Thursday at 11:00 AM EST (4:00 PM Portugal; 10:00 AM Panama), we will hold our second zoom Community Connect with the Ribeiros in Portugal and the Gaskins in Panama.

Next Sunday, Fellowship Luncheon:

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!
