Songs from the Chapel
Sunday 7am-8am
Start your Sundays off with sounds from above. Every Sunday morning from 7-8, Corey Walker brings you the great gospel tunes of yesterday and today. Most shows featurea diversity of artists and styles, including southern, country, bluegrass and black gospel, as well as the ocassional worship tune. Listen to such gospel greats as the Blackwood Brothers, Christy Lane, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Canada’s own George Beverly Shea. New songs are added to the show library all the time, so you never know what you’re going to hear. Let Corey help start your week off on the right foot, by allowing the melodies to focus your mind on the Lord and clear your mind of its clutter of conundrums, worries and regrets. Follow Songs from the Chapel on Facebook and Twitter, and feel free to request your favourite gospel song for Corey to play on an upcoming show. And if you’re a Canadian gospel artist, you are encouraged to send a CD to CFIS, so that your music can be promoted on the show.
