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 

This morning in Isaiah 8:19-9:2 we will see that, in order to know the peace of God and the presence of God, we need to hear the voice of God in the light of the Word of God.

This evening in 2 Samuel 6:1-11, we will learn that until we grasp the holiness of God we will not worship Him as we ought and we will not be able to serve Him as we ought.
