On Sunday evening, March 4 at 7:00 p.m., local singer/songwriter Amanda Vernon will present a one-hour concert with prayerful reflections and songs based on the Lenten Sunday Scriptures and Dominican Mystic, Meister Eckhart’s "Spirituality of Subtraction." Amanda’s CDs will be available for purchase at a reception following the concert.

Vernon was born in Wisconsin and grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the oldest of seven children. She has been singing publicly since the age of 5 and began playing piano at age 7. Having held roles in nationally-distributed Catholic children’s videos and a repeat guest on the EWTN Live call-in television program, Life on the Rock, she released four full-length recording projects. She has also shared her music in seven countries at churches, youth rallies and special events. You can read about Vernon, listen to music clips and learn more at her website.

The March 4th concert will be held at the Marywood Health Center Chapel of the Word, located at 111 Lakeside Drive NE. Go north on Lakeside off East Fulton. The Health Center is the first drive on the west side of Lakeside (pictures at right show the building and a map.)
