Over the years we have had well over 30 different artists be a part of this ministry. On April 22nd at 6pm we will have 15 artists (over 50 singers and musicians) on stage presenting the message of God’s love in song. A project studying the History of Gospel Music in Western Canada is being conducted by Dr. Carl Urion at Folkways Alive at the University of Alberta in association with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington DC. This event is considered to be significant enough that Folkways Alive will be sending a 2 man camera crew to record this event for historical purposes. Copies will be kept for study purposes at the U of A, the Smithsonian, and probably in the music section of the Canadian National Museum. It is an honour and a privilege to be included in this study in this way."
