Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year, which means most churches will lead their gratitude-focused set on Sunday, November 22. If you're a worship leader, that date is closer than it feels, and the songs you choose shape how your congregation enters the season. Thanksgiving Sunday is one of the few times a year when nearly everyone in the room is already thinking about gratitude. That's a gift. The right songs give people language for something they already feel but don't always know how to say.
