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 return to the Book of Isaiah and chapter 28, we will hear how the glory of God, the truth of His Word, and the wisdom of His counsel calls us to renounce the shame of human pride, to abandon falsehood and deception, and to listen to the voice of the Lord who, as the head of the body, is worthy of every crown!

This evening, in Mark 2:18-22, we will learn when and why biblical fasting is appropriate, in light of the crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.
