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 13, we will see how the certainty, gravity, and grace of the judgment of God against all evil, helps us to not lose heart because God is with us.

 This Evening in 2 Samuel 12:15b-25, we will learn how the sovereignty of God and the role of prayer harmoniously bring about the perfect will of God and the submission of our hearts to His perfect will.

Reception of New Member

 On Sunday June 25 during the morning worship service, Jimmy Holtzman, having met with the Session and having been examined as to his profession of faith in Christ, will be received into communicant membership of Grace OPC Fair Lawn.  Jimmy will be received as a communicant member upon his reaffirmation of faith in accordance with BOCO Directory for the Public Worship of God IV.E.

 Special “Farewell” Fellowship Luncheon

June 25, following morning worship, join us for our Special “Farewell” to Julia Ferreira and the Cortials Luncheon in the Fellowship Hall.
