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 30:8-17, we will learn how amazingly gracious God is in Christ towards sinners who close their ears to His Word and close their hearts to His revealed will.

This afternoon, in Mark 3:20-35, we will see how the questioning of Jesus’ sanity by His family and the slandering of Jesus’ miracles by His enemies, becomes the opportunity for Jesus to speak of His mission to bind Satan and to clarify genuine discipleship.

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.
