The Lord's Prayer

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

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven;

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors;

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;

praise him, all creatures here below;

praise him above, ye heave'nly host;

praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen."

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 Summery

This morning in Isaiah 63:7-14, we will be called to remember God’s covenant love,
reflect on our past, and return to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

This evening in Nehemiah 5:1-13, we will learn what it means to be obedient to God’s revealed will, especially in seeking the welfare of others above ourselves.

Announcement

Nursery Note from the Session:

Due to a limited pool of nursery workers, at this time, the Nursery will be “Unstaffed” on our Serving Schedule. To aid our young families, the Cloak Room will be temporarily “repurposed” as a Baby Break Room for our parents to have a ‘way station’ before returning with their children to worship and/or utilizing the Nursery in the Fellowship Hall.

In due time, the Lord will add to His Church many families with young children and correspondingly, [the Lord] will provide a rotation of laborers to serve in the Nursery (Matthew 9:37-38).

Crossroads Addictions Ministry

Every Thursday evening, from 7:30 to 9:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall.

Men’s Friday Night Fellowship & Book Study

This coming Friday, July 31, 2026, we will hold our monthly Men’s Friday Night Fellowship & Book Study – Redemption Accomplished & Applied – at the Manse, beginning at 6:30 PM with pizza. RVSP!

Next Sunday: 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.
