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 Summary

This morning in Isaiah 58:1-14, we will hear an indictment of spiritual insincerity, a call to sincere piety, and the reward of delighting in the Lord.

This evening in Ezra 10:1-4, we will see how humble, contrite, public prayer, along with preaching, when it is in accord with the Word of God, can result in great
reformation in the life of the church.

Announcement

Today, 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.

Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center

Beginning next Sunday on Mother’s Day, May 10, we will once more be taking up a collection of new-born baby and infant items to donate to Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center. We will conclude this annual partnership with Lighthouse on Father’s Day, June 21.
