I'n not sure if this is a good or bad sign. Actually I took this pic after the preaching service, so I guess we could blame Pastor Kyle Ellison (Just kidding brother Kyle!) We really enjoyed the morning worship service and being able to be with the folks at Elvester Baptist again. 35 of 71
The congregation was so supportive and very responsive at Elvester. 36 of 71
We always kid around with the folks that one side of the church is always a little fuller than the other. Some folks came in from other churches for the afternoon singing. 37 of 71

This is a young man that touched all of our hearts. We know him only as J.J. He is 16 years old and he welcomed every single person that walked through the church doors. J.J. lost his grandmother seven years ago and his grandfather(pictured beside him)said that he misses her just as much today as he did when she passed away. Please remember J.J. when you pray. If only all of us had such a tender heart! 49 of 71

You may e-mail our site and we will see that it gets forwarded to the right people. 57 of 71
Fellowship Baptist Church was the scene for the homecoming in Coker, AL on April 1, 2012. And what a grand day it was.

We always tell people that if others ask where they were on Sunday, all they have to do is go to our web site and that will be the proof of where they were! 67 of 71
What a beautiful day for a singing. The Waylighters were honored to be at Shady Grove Baptist Church in Randolph, AL on April 29, 2012 during both the morning and afternoon singings. We got in from Mississippi around 2:30 the previous morning, but we were all ready to go when we got up to sing. It's truly a joy singing for the Lord. 68 of 71
Shady Grove was a beautiful church with great folks that we enjoyed singing to. Both the morning and afternoon services were well attended and we had a great time. 69 of 71

Another picture of Fellowship Baptist church in Coker, AL on April 1, 2012. The crowd was great, even though the Blue Angels were in town. It's great to see that God's people still love assembling in His house on Sunday mornings. 59 of 71

We always tell people that if others ask where they were on Sunday, all they have to do is go to our web site and that will be the proof of where they were! 67 of 71
What a beautiful day for a singing. The Waylighters were honored to be at Shady Grove Baptist Church in Randolph, AL on April 29, 2012 during both the morning and afternoon singings. We got in from Mississippi around 2:30 the previous morning, but we were all ready to go when we got up to sing. It's truly a joy singing for the Lord. 68 of 71
Shady Grove was a beautiful church with great folks that we enjoyed singing to. Both the morning and afternoon services were well attended and we had a great time. 69 of 71

From time to time I go back and look through past pictures. Since I lost my dad two years ago, I wanted to share this picture with our friends and family. At my dad's funeral, his pastor made the comment that,"Sharon, you've lost your biggest fan!" My dad and mom have always supported me and my love for the Lord and gospel music and I thank them for that. I miss you dad! 29 of 59

You can tell by the look on Sharon's face that this was a wonderful night for her. She was able to visit with two of her best friends, Sandra Reach and Sandra's mother, Mrs. Nash. Sharon and Sandra first became friends through Tuscaloosa Christian School where Sharon taught music for two years. And it's easy to see where Sandra gets her sweet nature, from her mother! This is actually where Mrs. Nash attends church at Liberty Baptist Church 45 of 59
Unfortunately, I failed to get this ladies name, but she spoke to me after the service. I told her that I noticed her smile during the whole service and that she didn't realize how much that means to a group. She told me, "Honey, I've been going to singings for years, and I know exactly how uplifting a smile can be for a group!" Anyway, thanks so much for the support you gave us during the service. 46 of 59
Folks, let me tell you, be listening for more of this husband and wife duo, Judd and Lisa Cameron from Fosters, AL. They provided some absolutely beautiful music for the benefit at Liberty Baptist Church on February, 25, 2012. They've not sang outside of their own home church much, but I believe that is about to change. If you get the chance to hear them, please go. You will not be disappointed!

The young lady at the end's name is Grace and my, oh, my could she sing. We had a chat after the singing and I told her to continue singing for the Lord and she never hesitated to tell me that she was planning on it. Grace is part of Mercy Given. This was taken at Fellowship Baptist on April 1, 2012. 51 of 59
And talk about a singer!!!! This young lady is awesome. I am so sorry that I have forgotten her name, but she is also part of the Mercy Given family. When she started singing the first few bars of "Beulah Land", the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. This young lady has a real future! I pray that God uses her talent in a mighty way. 52 of 59

More pictures of folks just plain old having a good time around the table and also some shots of the group practicing at Sharon's house that you might never see again. Every once in a while a RARE photo of one of your favorite folks might just pop out during one of our hard practices! Lots of work has to go in to all of what you hear on stage during the year. And of course, lots of hard prayer!! But it's worth every trip and every mile.
Churches and You-Part II
Continue to journey with us througout the year of 2011 as we visit churches from our past and new churches that we are adding each week that we've never been to before. Hope to see you there at one of them.This shall continue to remain what church is about, Christ and the cross He went to Calvary for to bare our sins so that we may have everlasting life.

The Waylighters were back at Tannehill Opry on June 11, 2011. The first group to perform was Mercy Revealed. Believe me, you will be hearing more from this group. 19 of 100
Joey Maharrey and Mercy Revealed. I'm sure lots of folks will remember Joey's relatives, The Maharrey's from a few years back. 20 of 100
Mercy Revealed is a group that has a five-piece band backing them up. In this day and age, this is a rarity 21 of 100

Joey Maharrey of Mercy Revealed. Joey sings lead and has a beautiful voice. Curtis Williams has made lots of improvements at Tannehill Opry in the last year. On Saturday night, June 11, we counted at least 175 people in attendance. Please continue to support Curtis and Gospel singing night at the Opry. 23 of 100
When you have a full band with the group, it's hard to get everyone. Here is another view of the group, Mercy Revealed. 24 of 100
Bright and early on Sunday morning, June 19, 2011, The Waylighters were getting prepared to sing at Rice's Chapel in Sipsey, Alabama. This is a beautiful church, but signs of the recent tornado in April of this year were evident. Please continue to pray for those who have lost their homes, but most important the lives that were taken way too soon. 25 of 100
Located by the cemetary at Rice's Chapel in Sipsey, AL, stands a beautiful memorial to our military men and women who served and some who even paid the ultimate cost with ther lives. We were humbled to be standing there in its presence. 26 of 100
On the memorial at Rice's Chapel the inscription of those in this area who served in each branch of the service. Also inscribed is the name of each war that they served in. 27 of 100
If you will notice off to the left of the monument to honor the men and women in service, there stands three crosses. This is an honor made to the man who paid the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let us as a nation never forget who we owe everything to! 28 of 100
At each church we go to there seems to always be a few folks that just stand out and become instant friends to us. Pictured here is Victoria, who went out of her way to help us and see that we had tea glasses filled, desserts (we didn't need!) or anything else that she was more than willing to do to wait on us. Thank you Victoria for all your help. We look forward to seeing you again at Rice's Chapel. 29 of 100
Pictured here is Pastor Nichols and his wife and Victoria. They lead the singing at Rice's Chapel. Thank the Lord for those who are willing to serve, and sometimes serve in more than one position of the church! 30 of 100
Several guest singers and home church singers also helped out The Waylighters on Sunday afternoon at Rice's Chapel. Renee Walked from Ensley was able to be there and sang two. 31 of 100
Now here is a gentleman that just blessed us all. His name is Daniel Campbell and he also sang a couple of songs. I'm terrible at remembering titles, but the second one talked about seeing mom and dad. I lost my dad two years ago and with this being Father's Day, the song just touched my heart. 32 of 100
It was a scorcher the day we sang at Rice's Chapel, but we still had a good crowd to show up for the singing. We really do appreciate those who come out to be with us. 33 of 100

Fieldstown Church of God was the place to be on June 26, 2011. Our good friends, Mercy Revealed were with us and helped in the benefit for the church for improvements. Much has been done since the last time we were there and they are still in need. Thanks to all who came and participated and gave! 42 of 100
Crowds can sometimes be thin, but that doesn't mean that the Lord isn't in the service. And we always feel the Holy Spirit at work at Community Baptist. 43 of 100

On October 17, 2011, we received an invitation to sing at Maytown Baptist Church for their revival. This is the first time that we have been to Maytown and we hope that it won't be the last. We enjoyed the fellowship with the folks there and the wonderful preaching service. Pastor Joe Killian and Song Leader, Lee Majors made us feel right at home. 47 of 100

Believe it or not, the senior citizens class had the most people at Maytown Baptist Churche's revival on October 17, 2011. I think this says a lot about the folks. The theme was focused that evening on Sunday School attendance and these folks did good! 49 of 100
We thank singing chairman, Lee Majors for the invitation to come and be with the great folks of Maytown Baptist and hope to be able and be with them again sometime. 50 of 100

Possibly one of the oldest and certainly one of the most beautiful churches The Waylighters has the opportunities to witness in song to. Parker Memorial Baptist Church was founded 211 years ago and the sanctuary was actually built by people that were brought over from Germany. You will see the craftsmanship as you look as the following pictures. 53 of 100
Another part of Parker Memorial Baptist Church taken on December 19, 2011. What a beautiful church, inside and out. 54 of 100
Anniston, Alabama is a whole new area for The Waylighters, so Parker Memorial Baptist Church will hopefully open a lot of doors in that area for the group. We have already had an interest from another church wanting to book us and also, Parker Memorial has opened their doors for us to come back, we just need to book a time with them. The Lord truly does bless. 55 of 100
This is the parlor at Parker Memorial Baptist Church, or I guess it could also be called the vestibule complete with a baby grand piano, at Parker Memorial Baptist Church. 56 of 100
Being a keyboard and piano player, I couldn't pass up a picture of the grand piano that sits in the parlor at Parker Memorial. They also have a full-sized grand in the sanctuary. 57 of 100

This young man was all set to go for the New Year's Eve service at Elvester in Warrior, Alabama. How good it is to see these youngsters bringing in the New Year the way it should be. 62 of 100
"Hey folks, let's get this singing going!" I failed to get the young man's name, but he was very excited to be there! 63 of 100
It's hard to remember everyone's name when you travel to different churches from year to year, but this was the singing chairman at Elvester Baptist Church with his wife. 64 of 100
A good time was had by all at the New Year's Eve service at Elvester Baptist Church in Warrior, AL 65 of 100
We like to show as much of the congregation as possible when we do a singing. We also try to get pictures of our time during fellowship, but since I have to get back to singing and I have to eat fast, it's sometimes not possible for me to get the folks pictures. I'm very grateful to Mary, Glenda and Lana for filling in for me at times while we are singing. 66 of 100

What a wonderful time we had with the folks at Welcome Baptist Church in Pinson, AL. Several of the folks led in some shape-note singing, which is something that is rare these days. We look forward to being back with these folks sometime. 73 of 100
The singing chairman opened up the service with a couple of songs and then we had about 20 minutes of singing from the congreagtion before The Waylighters took to the pulpit and brought the message in song at Welcome Baptist Church in Pinson, AL. 74 of 100
The pianist did a wonderful job and the church at Welcome Baptist has added a new baby grand (which I just had to try out before the service) since we were last there. 75 of 100
The churches usually have us at a disadvantage because they know our names, but because we are at so many different churches during the year, we fail to get theirs. This gentleman is from New Home Missionary #2 and we will be singing at their church in April. Come out and be with us if you can. 76 of 100
If it wasn't for my buddy, Mary Adams (Gary, our baritone singer's wife) I wouldn't be able to have all of these great pictures on our web site. Here is another lady leading us in a shape-note song. 77 of 100
A couple leads us in a song at Welcome Baptist Church on January 15, 2012 78 of 100
The pastor and his wife even got in on the shaped-note song leading. We love the folks at Welcome Baptist Church. We've been there several times over the past eight years that we've been together and we hope to be with them again in the future. 79 of 100
It's always good to see the younger generation involved in the service. 80 of 100
It's so great to see so many people willing to participate in the service, and I'm sure Welcome Baptist Is proud of their folks. 81 of 100
The Waylighters were once again priviledged to be with the congregation of Lakeview Baptist in McCalla, Alabama on January 22, 2012. Pastor George Cooley has recently had bypass surgery and the church had asked if our quartet would come and have a Sunday of worship in song. Also there that day were the motorcyle riders for Jesus from both the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa chapters. A great day was had by all and it would have been perfect if only Pastor Cooley could have been present. He is doing well though and is up and moving around already. Please keep pastor Cooley and his wife, Charlotte in your prayers, as well as the church. 82 of 100
The Waylighters are praying that the year 2012 will be their best one yet. We already have several bookings as of now and also several new churches where we've never sang, so we are very excited about that! A good crowd was on hand at Lakeview Baptist in McCalla, Alabama on January 22, 2012. 83 of 100

The Waylighters finally got the opportunity to go to Tuscaloosa on January 29, 2012 and sing for the folks at Hargrove Baptist Church. What a wonderful day we had. The food was delicious and we feasted on the word brought by Pastor John Hatfield. 89 of 100
The Waylighters were excited to be at Hargrove Baptist Church on January 29, 2012. The folks met us with hugs and smiles and made us feel so at home. We are already planning on being with them next year on September 30, 2013. 90 of 100
One of the first things we like to do when we go to a church is take pictures of the auditorium and the congregation so that the folks can go and look at the pictures on our web site. We hope they enjoy them. 91 of 100
This is one of the prettiest murals we've ever seen in a church. If you'll notice, Jesus' reflection is in the water. Someone has a wonderful gift. This was taken at Hargrove Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, AL. 92 of 100
With only a 45-minute rest between singings on January 29, 2012, The Waylighters headed back to West Blocton, AL to be with the folks at Camp Branch Baptist Church. They have a beautiful place to worship as you will see in some of the pictures here. 93 of 100
This is the new location of Camp Branch Baptist Church. The old church sits across the road from the new church building. God is good. 94 of 100

It's always nice to get pictures of the folks that we sing for. Danny always tells folks when he sings that one of these days when we get to Heaven, we will see folks and say, "Hey, I remember you, you were at Camp Branch Baptist Church!" 96 of 100

What a wonderful time we had with the folks at Welcome Baptist Church in Pinson, AL. Several of the folks led in some shape-note singing, which is something that is rare these days. We look forward to being back with these folks sometime. 73 of 100
The singing chairman opened up the service with a couple of songs and then we had about 20 minutes of singing from the congreagtion before The Waylighters took to the pulpit and brought the message in song at Welcome Baptist Church in Pinson, AL. 74 of 100
The pianist did a wonderful job and the church at Welcome Baptist has added a new baby grand (which I just had to try out before the service) since we were last there. 75 of 100
The churches usually have us at a disadvantage because they know our names, but because we are at so many different churches during the year, we fail to get theirs. This gentleman is from New Home Missionary #2 and we will be singing at their church in April. Come out and be with us if you can. 76 of 100
If it wasn't for my buddy, Mary Adams (Gary, our baritone singer's wife) I wouldn't be able to have all of these great pictures on our web site. Here is another lady leading us in a shape-note song. 77 of 100

The pastor and his wife even got in on the shaped-note song leading. We love the folks at Welcome Baptist Church. We've been there several times over the past eight years that we've been together and we hope to be with them again in the future. 79 of 100
It's always good to see the younger generation involved in the service. 80 of 100
It's so great to see so many people willing to participate in the service, and I'm sure Welcome Baptist Is proud of their folks. 81 of 100
The Waylighters were once again priviledged to be with the congregation of Lakeview Baptist in McCalla, Alabama on January 22, 2012. Pastor George Cooley has recently had bypass surgery and the church had asked if our quartet would come and have a Sunday of worship in song. Also there that day were the motorcyle riders for Jesus from both the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa chapters. A great day was had by all and it would have been perfect if only Pastor Cooley could have been present. He is doing well though and is up and moving around already. Please keep pastor Cooley and his wife, Charlotte in your prayers, as well as the church. 82 of 100
The Waylighters are praying that the year 2012 will be their best one yet. We already have several bookings as of now and also several new churches where we've never sang, so we are very excited about that! A good crowd was on hand at Lakeview Baptist in McCalla, Alabama on January 22, 2012. 83 of 100

The Waylighters finally got the opportunity to go to Tuscaloosa on January 29, 2012 and sing for the folks at Hargrove Baptist Church. What a wonderful day we had. The food was delicious and we feasted on the word brought by Pastor John Hatfield. 89 of 100
The Waylighters were excited to be at Hargrove Baptist Church on January 29, 2012. The folks met us with hugs and smiles and made us feel so at home. We are already planning on being with them next year on September 30, 2013. 90 of 100
One of the first things we like to do when we go to a church is take pictures of the auditorium and the congregation so that the folks can go and look at the pictures on our web site. We hope they enjoy them. 91 of 100
This is one of the prettiest murals we've ever seen in a church. If you'll notice, Jesus' reflection is in the water. Someone has a wonderful gift. This was taken at Hargrove Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, AL. 92 of 100
With only a 45-minute rest between singings on January 29, 2012, The Waylighters headed back to West Blocton, AL to be with the folks at Camp Branch Baptist Church. They have a beautiful place to worship as you will see in some of the pictures here. 93 of 100
This is the new location of Camp Branch Baptist Church. The old church sits across the road from the new church building. God is good. 94 of 100
Here sits the original Camp Branch Baptist Church which is now used as the "Stuff Hut." I'm not quite sure what that means, but I'm sure the building is put to good use! 95 of 100
It's always nice to get pictures of the folks that we sing for. Danny always tells folks when he sings that one of these days when we get to Heaven, we will see folks and say, "Hey, I remember you, you were at Camp Branch Baptist Church!" 96 of 100

Let's Make Time for Each Other
In this fast-paced world, it seems like we alwys have time for everything but each other. The Waylighters have made themselves a promise this year to try and slow down a little bit and make a little more time for themselves to be together. "Because of it just being Keith and myself here in Alabama, I feel like The Waylighters are our extended brothers and sisters," states Sharon Emery (keyhboard and singing) They are our brothers and sisters in Christ and I know that we could call on them at any time and they would be there.Grant Street Baptist Church - March 2015 1 of 7Danny & Ann at Grant Street Baptist Church - March 2015 2 of 7

The Waylighters love singing for the Lord and the first thing they will tell you is they are not entertainers, they are in the music ministry. And the second thing they will tell you is that they are NOT professionals, they make mistakes. But they are on a mission and if one soul is saved through that ministry, then it was worth every minute! 70 of 100

The church was destroyed during the tornado that passed through on April 27, 2011.

But the Lord has blessed ten-fold and provided the congregation with a beautiful new church. 19 of 84

One of the best songs in our program is, "Winging My Way Back Home." Danny always kids that it took us 13 years to learn this song. Myself, I think we were just waiting for the right singer to come along in Ann to polish it. 46 of 84
Gary and Sharon like to kid around with each other during the program. Most of the kidding is done right before we get ready to sing, "Moving Up To Glory Land." If you want to hear an awesome version of this song, listen to Gary when he sings it! 47 of 84
No group would be complete without a bass singer and we have one of the best around, Mr. John Reiter! 48 of 84
All right group, let's put our heads together and SING! I want to take this time to thank my good buddy, Mary Adams (wife of Gary Adams) for all of the great pictures she takes while we're up on stage singing. I appreciate you, Mary! 49 of 84

The Waylighters having a great time singing for the congregation at New Hope Baptist on February 2, 2014 in Jemison, AL. The folks were a group's dream to sing for. The Spirit was evident in every song that was sung by each and every person that performed. 68 of 84
Sharon always has a good time when there is a singing. Each member of The Waylighters give all the glory to the Lord for allowing them to go out and do His will. 69 of 84
Danny Littleton does an excellent job at singing lead for The Waylighters. He recently has added running the sound and cueing up our music to his list of many talents. We appreciate this gentleman and his genuine love for the Lord! 70 of 84
I failed to remember this gentleman's name, but he is a the churches instrumentalist and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with him after the service. We spoke about age and that it should never be a factor when giving your talent to the Lord! He has recently just started learning the guitar and he did an excellent job! 71 of 84
I believe that this talented lady's first name was Sue and she sang, "This Is Just What Heaven Means To Me" and you could tell she sang it from her heat. Wonderful folks at New Hope Baptist! 72 of 84
This young man enjoyed the afternoon and was a blessing to watch as he worshiped the Lord. 73 of 84
I failed to get everyone's name, but this brother and siter was visiting from another church in the area came prepared to sing for the church and did a great job. 74 of 84
This was Pastor Jeff's grand-daughter and I heard from Gary's wife, Mary the most wonderful story of her miracle coming home from the singing. This young lady wasn't given much hope of living past the age of three, due to a problem with her heart. But here she is, singing for her Lord! She sang the most wonderful song about an unborn child speaking to her mother. Lots of tears shed when she sang! We pray for her continued health and the Lord's blessing on her life. 75 of 84
I had a really nice talk with this young man after the service. His first name was Tim and I could tell by speaking with him that he has a genuine love for the Lord and really believes in using what talent the Lord gives you! He sang a beautiful version of, "Amazing Grace." Keep singing for the Lord my brother! 76 of 84
Another musician that does a really good job and helps out at New Hope Baptist, and also sings. This young man sang both in the a.m. and p.m. services and did a wonderful job 77 of 84
The sweet lady on the left is Pastor Jeff's wife. I have to start getting more names when we go out. They sang three songs, one of them being a beautiful Dunway's song, "Didn't I Walk On Water," and did a great job on it. With each person that sang, you could tell that their singing was anointed! 78 of 84
It was so easy to sing to the crowd at New Hope Baptist. Each and every member of The Waylighters had a great time being with the church. 79 of 84
We always try to add a couple of songs with Sharon playing just the guitar. The song, "A Beautiful Life" features our bass singer, Gary, and he really does a great job! 80 of 84
I'm sure at this particular time, Gary was ribbing Sharon a little bit! We have a lot of fun when we sing also. The Lord wants happy Christians, and believe me, The Waylighters are one of the happiest bunch of folks you will ever want to meet! 81 of 84
Danny and Ann Littleton are such a blessed part of our group! They have recently released a duet CD and I can tell you from a personal view point, it is awesome! It is available at our singings. Drop by the table and pick one up and support their ministry. 82 of 84
The Waylighters never end a service without an altar call. Here the group stands and sings while Pastor Jeff prays and waits for the possibility that someone will come to know Christ as thier personal Savior. This is what our whole ministry is based around. Without the Lord, we are nothing! If you don't know the Lord as your personal Savior, please come to Him before it's too late! 83 of 84
It's always hard to close a service when the Lord is speaking to hearts. We so enjoyed being with the folks at New Hope Baptist in Jemison, AL on February 2, 2014 and were thrilled to make new friends! Our prayer is that the Lord will bless these wonderful folks and we look forward to hopefully being back with them soon. 84 of 84

The church was destroyed during the tornado that passed through on April 27, 2011.

But the Lord has blessed ten-fold and provided the congregation with a beautiful new church. 19 of 84

In looking at the photos, I made a mistake on three previous pictures in saying that we were singing at Concord Highland Baptist Church, when actually we were singing at Elvester Church. Please forgive the mistake. This is indeed the Concord Highland Baptist Church on May 5, 2013 22 of 84

The group singing a song with only the guitar has become a big hit with the crowds that we sing to. There's just something about playing music live that speaks to the people's hearts. 24 of 84
It's been said that the pulpit looks like it's singing when Sharon does a song. Now that I look at it, they are right! 25 of 84

Not only was Danny blessed when he married Ann, The Waylighters came out a winner too with her dedication as a fifth member of our group. Here she and Danny are singing one at New Providence Baptist Church in Adger, Al on June 23, 2013 45 of 84
One of the best songs in our program is, "Winging My Way Back Home." Danny always kids that it took us 13 years to learn this song. Myself, I think we were just waiting for the right singer to come along in Ann to polish it. 46 of 84
Gary and Sharon like to kid around with each other during the program. Most of the kidding is done right before we get ready to sing, "Moving Up To Glory Land." If you want to hear an awesome version of this song, listen to Gary when he sings it! 47 of 84
No group would be complete without a bass singer and we have one of the best around, Mr. John Reiter! 48 of 84
All right group, let's put our heads together and SING! I want to take this time to thank my good buddy, Mary Adams (wife of Gary Adams) for all of the great pictures she takes while we're up on stage singing. I appreciate you, Mary! 49 of 84

Churches and You - Part III
Please continue to travel with us through the following pages of the photo album as God continues to bless The Waylighters.
The beautiful church of Concord Highlands Baptist. The congregation's church was destroyed in the April, 27, 2011 tornado. But God has richly blessed the church by allowing them to rebuild.

The Waylighters #5
Please join The Waylighters in welcoming in the year 2014. Even though this year has already brought about changes in the groups look and sound, we continue to serve our Lord and Savior in song. We hope somewhere down the road during this coming year, you might be able to join us in one of our song services. But if you are unable to do so, please take a moment to visit our web site and browse through our photo albums.

Danny sings lead for the group, but his duties also includes operating the sound system and programming our music, at which he does a great job! 20 of 100
Danny and Ann Littleton are a vital part of The Waylighters. I'm sure it's great to have a spouse who not only supports you, but also shares the stage with you almost every weekend of the year. The Waylighters has always been blessed with supportive spouses. I'm sure any group will tell you how important it is to have a spouse thattravels with you and supports your ministry 21 of 100
Every once in a while, we get to go and see some of our favorite groups. One of those such groups is The Kingsmen! Recently, Gary and Mary Adams and Sharon Emery traveled to Springville, AL to see The Kingsmen perform at Friendship Baptist Church. And as usual, they did an outstanding job! 22 of 100
As Danny gets ready to introduce the next song, Sharon, Ann and Gary listen for their cue to start! 23 of 100

The group has recently added several new songs to the program, and one of those songs is, "Did I Mention." A beautifully written song that is also performed beautifully by Ann Littleton. Sharon sings harmony with her on this song. 25 of 100

Ann and Sharon were both surprised to be smiling after that last song! 35 of 100
Even Danny was smiling! 36 of 100

I wish that I would have taken a picture of all of the wonderful food that the ladies of the church cooked! The Waylighter's gives Taylor's Chapel the highest rating of 5! Acturally, I think they would rate more of a 5+! Thanks ladies (and gentelmen) for the great food! 41 of 100
Danny also had some extra time to visit with the folks before the service at Taylor's Chapel on February 23, 2014. 42 of 100

Danny and Ann Littleton are a vital part of The Waylighters. I'm sure it's great to have a spouse who not only supports you, but also shares the stage with you almost every weekend of the year. The Waylighters has always been blessed with supportive spouses. I'm sure any group will tell you how important it is to have a spouse thattravels with you and supports your ministry 21 of 100
Every once in a while, we get to go and see some of our favorite groups. One of those such groups is The Kingsmen!

As you may notice, Danny was sans his tie during the morning service. We had tried to call someone from the church earlier in the week, but were told the number had been disconnected. The singing had been booked a year ago, so we weren't sure if we were even still singing. When we got there, we found out that we would be singing a couple of songs in the a.m. So we had to do some quick shuffling to set up the equipment. So quick, in fact, that Danny didn't have time to put on his tie. Don't know what Gary's excuse was for not wearing his jacket! (LOL!!) 3 of 86
Pastor David Turner went out of his way to make the group feel welcome. We really enjoyed the day with the folks at Bluff Springs. 4 of 86
Very seldom does the group have time to pose for pictures, so when one of the ladies of the church asked for a photo opportunity, we had Gary's wife, Mary to snap one also. Can you believe that she caught us all smiling at the same time!? 5 of 86
Gary has introduced a new song in the program entitled, "If You Only Knew" and it is getting wonderful response. Of course, it's mainly because Gary puts such feeling into the song! 6 of 86

And this is the young lady that the benefit was being held for. Since I've been involved in about four other sings since the benefit, I have forgotten her name. But the Lord knows who she is. Please be in prayer for this sweet child as she undergoes serious spinal surgery on June 30. 57 of 86

We have been called, "Uplifted," "The WaySiders," and many other names of different variations, but I believe this is the first time we've been called, "The Way Lighters." Danny always tells the congregation, "As long as you call us!" 72 of 86

And of course, it wouldn't be fair if the ladies didn't give the guys equal time! Seriously, Danny and Gary sing, "I Can't Even Walk" during the program. This was always one of Charlie Adam's wife, Mikki's favorite song. We recently added it back into the program. 80 of 86

As you may notice, Danny was sans his tie during the morning service. We had tried to call someone from the church earlier in the week, but were told the number had been disconnected. The singing had been booked a year ago, so we weren't sure if we were even still singing. When we got there, we found out that we would be singing a couple of songs in the a.m. So we had to do some quick shuffling to set up the equipment. So quick, in fact, that Danny didn't have time to put on his tie. Don't know what Gary's excuse was for not wearing his jacket! (LOL!!) 3 of 86
Pastor David Turner went out of his way to make the group feel welcome. We really enjoyed the day with the folks at Bluff Springs. 4 of 86
Very seldom does the group have time to pose for pictures, so when one of the ladies of the church asked for a photo opportunity, we had Gary's wife, Mary to snap one also. Can you believe that she caught us all smiling at the same time!? 5 of 86
Gary has introduced a new song in the program entitled, "If You Only Knew" and it is getting wonderful response. Of course, it's mainly because Gary puts such feeling into the song! 6 of 86
Danny Littleton is probably one of the most well-liked people around. He's a very humble and modest man. We are so glad to have him as a member of the group. 7 of 86

Pastor, David Turner came up to sing, "I'm Winging My Way Back Home" with the group. Later, Brother David went on to tell us that we are the first group that he ever felt comfortable enough to come up and sing with. We were very honored! 12 of 86

Danny and Ann Littleton's grandson, Skyler, was able to be with us at New Home Missionary Baptist Church on April 27, 2014 in Oneonta, AL.

This young lady sang a song and when she finished, there was another young lady that was standing by her who had also been singing with her. We could here her, but the camera didn't pick up her picture because she was hidden 18 of 86
If you happen to notice anyone missing, it's Sharon behind the pulpit. The group likes to tease her about being short and this is a prime example! 19 of 86

Danny was a trooper at New Home Missionary Baptist. He had taken a new blood pressure medicine that morning and had a reaction to it. Later on, it was found out that they actually prescribed him the wrong medicine! God is always in control! 21 of 86

Ask Sharon these days what's on her mind, and she will tell you that it is the dread of leaving The Waylighters Quartet. Sharon and her husband Keith will be moving to Arizona in the fall to start a new career with their son, Brian. Please pray for them as they start another phase of their lives. 38 of 86
Danny usually does the introductions of the group. Ask him sometime about his intro of his wife, Ann at Sylvan Springs Community Center. It's a funny story! 39 of 86
