Brian Livingston Author of The Habits of Squirrels will be at the Info Tent at Liberty Street.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with an irate squirrel.
In this charming, thoughtful meditation on all of life’s journeys, Brian Livingston finds humor, grace, and sunburn on one of the country’s great hikes. His character encounters the Trail’s eccentric inhabitants, who will help him, challenge him, and ultimately shape his journey and determine what kind of person he wants to be.
Meet Bryan, pick up a copy of his book—we have ours!—and join him on this wonderful squirrley journey.

Evensong at st Philip’s At 4:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of the month (October through May), St. Philip's offers a service of Choral Evensong, a time of contemplative worship, psalmody, and prayer. Please join; public is invited! A note about Evensong from the Rev. Brian McGreevy: The term “Evensong” is derived from the Old English ǣfensang, originally applied to the pre-Reformation service of Vespers during the Middle Ages. Contemplative in tone, the liturgy for this service has remained essentially unchanged for some 500 years, and connects us to the countless host of saints who have gone before.
