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 our guestbook or simply read the exciting testimonies of listeners who have already signed the guestbook. We also encourage you sign up for our free e-newsletter called PraiseNotes.

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!

Buddy Smith
