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 1 Peter 4:12-19, we will hear how we can endure suffering because we are united to Christ, blessed by God’s presence, and enabled to do what is right even as we, for Christ’s sake, are wronged.

This afternoon, in Mark 1:9-13, we will see in the anointing of Jesus for ministry in His baptism, the fulfillment of the endowment of the Messiah for a triumphant, militant ministry to defeat the adversary and set free the captives.

Today, Fellowship Luncheon: Following morning worship, we will hold our monthly fellowship luncheon. These delicious luncheons are a potluck meal. All are welcome to stay and enjoy the fellowship meal together.

90th General Assembly of Orthodox Presbyterian Church:

Pastor John will attend the GA in Seattle, WA on 6/19~6/26.
