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 morningin Isaiah 33:13-24, we will see that when we behold with new eyes the resurrected and ascended King in his beauty, we are set free from the terrors and paralysis of this present evil age, and can begin to glorify and enjoy God.

This afternoon in Mark 6:1-6, we will learn the comfort and encouragement that believers
experience when following Christ, and while following Christ, results in rejection from those closest to us – family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors.

Today, Fellowship Luncheon:

Following morning worship, we will hold our monthly fellowship luncheon. These delicious luncheons are a potluck meal.
