主办方介绍，iACT组织这一跨信仰感恩日礼拜已有42年。该活动免费、适合家庭参加，欢迎所有人参与，参加者须提前登记。

Interfaith Day of Thanks Service Set for November 22 in Austin, Texas, With the Theme Bridging Faiths at St. Martin's Lutheran Church
Interfaith Action of Central Texas (iACT) will hold its annual Interfaith Day of Thanks Service and Celebration on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at St. Martin's Lutheran Church, 606 W 15th St, Austin, Texas.
Every year, iACT welcomes Central Texans of all faiths and cultures to give thanks together. The Interfaith Day of Thanks is a service of gratitude shared across traditions, with voices, music and prayers from many faith communities filling one room.
This year's theme is Bridging Faiths. A prelude by the Conspirare choir begins at 2:45 p.m., the service starts at 3:00 p.m., and a reception follows at 4:30 p.m.
iACT has organized an interfaith Day of Thanks service for the Austin community for 42 years. The event is free and family-friendly, and all are welcome; registration is requested beforehand.
The organization explains that the name Day of Thanks, rather than Thanksgiving, acknowledges that Native Americans have historically not participated in Thanksgiving services because the holiday recalls a dark period of history, and that the naming is intended to show that Native Americans are seen, heard and valued. During the service, faith leaders of diverse traditions offer prayers, chants, songs, music and dances of thanksgiving and praise.
