Shayla Pierre - Atlanta Vocalist for Weddings & More - New logo!
I changed my logo a little bit. Decided it should have my last name on it, since people do already know me by that name that may be searching for me. See below. Let me know what you think!
Order My Steps
I added a new widget to my page so that you can hear me lead one of my signature songs, "Order My Steps". You'll have to go directly to my blog to check it out and listen. Or you can download it and play from the following link: Order My Steps by Shayla Pierre and Voices of Hope

God Is Good
My bio below mentions that I have been serving on the praise team and choir at my church, Ray of Hope Christian Church, for the past several years. As a matter of fact, I have been a member of the choir since February 2002 and the praise team since November 2002. It's hard to believe that it's been almost 8 years, because the years have truly flown by. "The Ray," as we affectionately call our church, has been one of my favorite places since I joined in July 2001. My pastor, Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale, is a nurturing and awesome women of God who preaches powerfully and is an wonderful example of how to live with joy and integrity. I love her so much!
We just ended our Winter Revival and it was truly a blessing. Today, in particular we culminated the revival with our Ash Wednesday liturgy blended in as well. As I type, I'm thinking about what this blog should be about... I was thinking it could be a blog about the different praise and worship songs we sang but then I kind of went on another tangent... At any rate, here is a list of what we sang for praise and worship this evening:
