The Power of Vision
The Power of Vision 6th Sunday of Easter Pastor Pat Mecham Acts 16: 9-15 May 22, 2022 John 14: 23-29 Isn’t VISION a funny word? I have an insurance card in my wallet that shows that I have “Vision Insurance.” In other words, I can get my eyes examined and receive eye care without it costing me a fortune.
