WELCOME TO GRACE OPC!  On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  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 our introduction to the book of Isaiah, we are invited to see, listen, and understand! where we fit in the story of the gospel of God saving His people through judgment for the transformation of the world.

This Afternoon we will learn from the promise contained in Proverbs 11:30 that the righteous and the wise, by virtue of their union with Christ, will by their faith and conduct, have a life-transforming influence on many souls.

After Morning Worship service, we will hold our Annual Picnic w/ Grace Reformed Church URCNA in Jersey City under the canopies. Please plan to stay after luncheon for Joint Afternoon Worship service w/members of Grace Reformed Church.

The 7 th Annual Heritage Reformed Conference (see poster and flyers on the church door and book table). September 16-17, 2022 at Heritage Reformed Church, 129 Boonton Ave., Kinnelon, NJ 07405
