If you’re playing in church at all this November, then you’re probably looking for some Thanksgiving-related music right about now.
As much as I love We Gather Together and For the Beauty of the Earth, I can only play them so many times before I start looking to add some other songs to my Thanksgiving repertoire. Variety is good, right?
