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 

Sermon Summary

This morning in Luke 24:1-12, we will learn how God’s Word prepares us to respond to the empty tomb with faith in Jesus Christ, that His death fully paid for
our sins and His resurrection has secured for us eternal life with God.

This evening in Luke 24:36-53, we will see how the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead radically transforms the life of the believer such that we will never be the same.

Announcement

Today, 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.

Fellowship Luncheon

Next Sunday we will hold our monthly Fellowship Potluck  Luncheon following morning worship, and close the Lord’s Day with afternoon worship.

Keegan’s on Vacation
