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 morning in Isaiah 32:1-8, we will see that with the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in His first advent, the promised righteous King is enthroned and reigning over His Spirit-wrought new creation, the church that He is building and sanctifying.

This evening in Mark 4:35-41, we will learn how, in the midst of our deepest distresses, Jesus is Immanuel, God with us, by His Spirit present to dispel our fears and increase our faith.
