About Sunday Evening Praise
Sunday mornings on AFR offer a musical format with
traditional blends designed to prepare the worshiper for the Lord's
day. Sunday evenings are designed as an uninterrupted and more
contemporary praise-only format that provides the worshiper with an
opportunity of joining with the musicians in offering thanksgiving
to God.
Sunday Evening Praise airs from 6:30 p.m.
until 10:00 p.m. Central Time.
My name is Buddy
Smith and I serve as the worship leader for Sunday Evening
Praise. I was AFR's Sunday morning host until AFA/AFR President
Don Wildmon approached me in 1993 about the concept of a Sunday
evening praise program. Dr. Wildmon told me there was a need for AFR
to offer an uninterrupted time of praise and worship music to assist
believers all across the country in this important discipline of the
Christian life and asked if I would host the program. I
enthusiastically accepted. I knew that our music library included
the very best of today's worship and praise music and counted it an
honor to have the opportunity of designing a mix of musical styles
that could be used by the Holy Spirit to stir the hearts of our
listeners.
Many different musical artists make up the musical
mix of Sunday Evening Praise. A typical Sunday evening will include
songs by: Christ Church Choir, Bill & Gloria Gaither &
Friends Homecoming Series, Integrity Singers, Maranatha Singers,
Hosanna Singers, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and Vineyard Singers.
I close the program each week with the theme song
for Sunday Evening Praise titled All The Glory Belongs To
Jesus as recorded by the Master's Chorale. The lyrics and music of All
The Glory Belong To Jesus do not simply make good theme music
but sum up the deep longing of every Christian in his relationship
with a personal God.
All the glory belongs to Jesus, All the praise
belongs to Him, All that I am or ever hope to be, All the glory
belongs to Him.
Before you leave the website, be sure to sign

I invite you to tune in this Sunday evening at
6:30 p.m. Central Time, and join me, the AFR listener family and a
multitude of heavenly hosts in the symphony of praise called Sunday
Evening Praise.
All The Glory Belongs To Jesus!
