BET Networks will host its second annual faith-based prayer breakfast to kick off this year’s CELEBRATION OF GOSPEL. The breakfast was created to unite various religions, cultures and denominations together the day before the taping of the show.

This year’s show will pay tribute to the life and legacy of the “Mother of Gospel Music,” Mahalia Jackson, with performances by Amber Riley, Yolanda Adams, Pastor Shirley Caesar and Jennifer Holliday.  CELEBRATION OF GOSPEL will also showcase a special moment in memory of the legendary Whitney Houston who graced the stage at last year’s show and whose singing gift was anchored in her gospel roots.

 This year’s stellar CELEBRATION OF GOSPEL line-up includes the very best that gospel and secular music has to offer with performances by gospel greats Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, The Rance Allen Group, James Fortune & FIYA, 2012 Grammy-award winner Le’Andria Johnson, Jessica Reedy, Earnest Pugh, Isaac Carree, Moses Tyson Jr. Ricky Dillard & New G, Zacardi Cortez and Maurette Brown-Clark plus a special appearance by BET Music Matters artist Mali Music as well as secular artists Grammy and Tony Award-winner Jennifer Holliday, as well R&B sensations Faith Evans, Johnny Gill, Ledisi and Kelly Price.

In addition to musical performances, Dr. Bobby Jones, of BET’s long-running gospel show BOBBY JONES GOSPEL and actress Wendy Raquel Robinson of the ratings juggernaut THE GAME will deliver moving spoken word selections.

    Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Right now it sounds like WordPress is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using
    on your blog?

    Gday, I am new to running a blog and websites in general and was curious about how you got
    the “www” included in your domain name? I see your domain, “http://ugospel.thatstruemedia.com/amber-riley-of-glee-added-to-line-up-of-performers-at-celebration-of-gospel-faith-based-prayer-breakfast-kicks-off-ceremony/”
    has the www and my web address looks like, “http://mydomain.com”.
    Do you know the correct way I can alter this?

    I’m using WordPress platform. Thank you very much

    I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on
    the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more
    often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?

    Fantastic work!

    Your web site appears to be having some compatibilty problems
    in my internet explorer browser. The wording seems to be running off the webpage pretty bad.
    If you would like you can email me at: johnnierhyne@inbox.
    com and I will shoot you over a screenshot of the problem.
