| The Yancey Family |
Saturday’s service will feature the Yancey Family in concert. Called “the best kept secret in Granville County” by legendary gospel singer Evangelist Dorothy Norwood, all eleven Yancey siblings have sung and/or played an instrument since childhood. Collectively, they emerged to become one of the most requested groups in the area. Upon hearing Gloretta Yancey McNeil’s project, Thou Art Worthy, Evangelist Norwood, taken by the family’s talent and anointing, presented the Yancey Family in its first “live” recording. The project will be released in the coming months on Movonia Records.
