The Sunday after Thanksgiving is always the flipside of the Sunday before. Like most of you out there, our attendance was WAY down since many people use the Sunday after Thanksgiving break for travel (or for sleeping in to recover from travel).
I don’t know how many of your churches start singing Christmas songs the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but I like to fire them up so soon because of all the musicals we do. There are just too many Christmas songs and not enough time to sing them all.
We’re in the home stretch of preparations for our yearly Christmas musicals, so it’s about to be even more busy than usual for a few weeks, and then we can take a deep breath before the new year.
After the set-list, check out the videos of my daughters singing at our periodic “Fifth Sunday Sing” last night. They both did a fantastic job.
- Joy to the World // Isaac Watts
- Jesus, Light of the World // Third Day
- O Come, All Ye Faithful // John Francis Wade
- Angels We Have Heard on High // traditional French carol
- Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus // Wesley & Prichard
Jerah rocked the house with some Superchic[k] last time around, so this time was a little more traditional (literally) with “My House is Your House.”

Joely gets sample CDs from me all the time, and she found a song she liked and wanted to sing. She’s been working on this song for weeks. We put the words up on the screen to make sure people could understand everything, and she got off a bit when the computer couldn’t keep up with her. She knows the songs very well, but made the mistake of paying too much attention to the screen. This is “Set the World on Fire” by Britt Nicole.
