SUNDAY BULLETIN | March 15, 2026
Rooted in Memories
Hogeye Navvy takes over The Garden service this Sunday with a soulful, musical journey through the heart of Irish tradition. We’re in the Lenten season, a time often defined by quiet reflection, and this program uses the deep well of Celtic folk to explore themes of heritage, loss, and spiritual ties that reach across generations. The morning offers a powerful space for communal remembrance, blending stirring instrumentals with poignant, narrative storytelling.
The service weaves together historical defiance and modern contemplation, providing a wide-lens perspective on the Irish experience. As it honors the solemnity of the Lenten journey, the music also celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. The morning begins in a place of deep reflection but builds toward a vibrant, high-energy finale with the traditional tune "Smash the Windows," sending us out into the world with renewed spirit. We invite you to start your Sunday with this unique blend of history, harmony, and hope.

DEVOTIONAL MOMENT
Awake, O my soul, To the sacred dreams that are stirring within you. Awake to the imaginations of the heart
And the cherished hopes of what is yet to be. Do not be afraid. Awake, O my soul. To the sacred dreams that are stirring within you. Awake, O my soul. Awake.
John O’Donohue
