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 Mr. Kevin Vasquez will open God’s Word in 2 Chronicles 15:1-16 where, in light of Reformation Sunday, we will learn from the story of King Asa’s reforms the warnings from God’s Word that attend the darkest moments in the history of salvation and the ongoing reforms that result from obedience to the Spirit of God.

This afternoon Mr. Kevin Vasquez we will open God’s Word in 2 John where we will receive the apostolic teaching from God’s word for the mode of ongoing reformation: love & truth.

Reformation Sunday Luncheon: Join us for our special luncheon in remembrance of the event of “October 31, 1517”, that sparked the Protestant Reformation.

Next Sunday, 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.

Keegans on Study Leave/Vacation

Mr. Kevin Vasquez will be exhorting in the morning and afternoon services on November 13. Rev. John Vroegindewey will preach in the morning and Rev.
