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 Acts 2:36-47, we will consider the beauty and wonder of the covenant of grace, as the gift of the Spirit, producing life in the Spirit, and manifesting the witness of the Spirit.

This afternoon in Mark 10:13-16, we will hear the gracious favor Jesus bestows upon children of the covenant, in welcoming them, in promising them a place in His kingdom, and in blessing them.

Today: Fellowship Luncheon

This Sunday, we will hold our monthly Fellowship Luncheon in the Fellowship Hall.
