“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” Amen.

Pastoral Prayer

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty,  Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and was buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.    

I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church;     the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

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 Isaiah 43:1-7, we will learn why Christians ought not to be afraid, even when afflicted, because God in Christ has redeemed us unto Himself, promises to ever be with us, and has called and made us to be His new creation and His possession.

This evening in Mark 10:32-34, we will come alongside the disciples, to see why they are filled with trepidations as they follow Jesus as He journeys to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and rise again.
