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 on your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.

This morning in Galatians 5:22-23 we will see how the fruit of the Spirit-led life is the evidence of a heart truly liberated and transformed by the Gospel of grace.

This afternoon Mr. Filipe Cortial will exhort in Colossians 3:5-8 where we will learn that since we died and were raised with Christ, we are called to put our sins to death each day of our lives.

In Christ’s service, John Keegan, Pastor
