Standard Publishing signs children’s worship artist and
musician Yancy to exclusive Vacation Bible School deal;
Yancy to compose original songs for VBS 2012
CINCINNATI – June 28, 2011 – In what is believed to be a first-ever partnership of this kind,
Standard Publishing today announced that children’s worship expert and composer Yancy has
entered into an exclusive partnership to write and produce 10 original songs for Standard
Publishing’s 2012 Vacation Bible School, and to perform the songs for videos and at personal
appearances for promotional events during the coming year.
Yancy has been performing and writing music her entire life, and involved with ministry about
that long too, as she is the daughter of ministry veteran Jim Wideman.
The partnership with Standard Publishing marks a new element in her career, as this is the first
time she’s ever written music for a Vacation Bible School publisher.
“I’m so excited to partner with Standard Publishing to write, produce and perform these songs,”
Yancy said. “I’m believing for changed lives from this Vacation Bible School experience as kids
are able to learn about God’s promises. I believe these songs will continue to help them take to
heart what they learn and apply its message to their life every day for years to come.”
Yancy will join Standard Publishing at the Christian publishing industry’s International Christian
Retail Show (ICRS) on Sunday, July 10 in Atlanta, as well as at the North American Christian
Convention in Cincinnati on Wednesday, July 7 where she will lead children’s worship. At both
venues, she will help launch Standard Publishing’s promotion for its 2012 Vacation Bible School
theme.
“Music is such a powerful way to connect with an audience,” Yancy continued. “We all have
events and memories in our life that are brought back to our remembrance when we hear a
certain song.
“What an amazing way to plant the truth of God’s word in these young hearts. I believe this
collection of songs will truly help these kids remember what they learned even years beyond
their summer 2012 VBS experience.”
Standard Publishing, the original publisher of Vacation Bible School and an award-winning
powerhouse in this field, continues to break new ground in VBS with signing Yancy.
“We have long been committed to providing original music each year for VBS as we want the
message of VBS to continue to be reinforced by the music the kids are learning. This is some of
the best learning times for kids, and most long-lasting, as the children go home singing these
songs and continue to sing them for months and years afterwards,” said Bob Wallace, Standard
Publishing Marketing Manager.
“Partnering with Yancy for these songs is a wonderful opportunity for everyone, we believe, to
capture songs that kids today will love.”
Nashville-based Yancy has been writing and performing for more than 13 years, working for five
years on staff as a church worship leader, then leading worship for a wide variety of ages at
churches and events. She currently travels the country sharing her music by performing family
concerts at churches and leading worship at conferences and camps.
She has produced 10 of her own CDs, in addition to composing and arranging for other
Contemporary Christian Music artists. She’s written songs with Third Day’s Mac Powell and co-
wrote Avalon’s hit single “I Don’t Want to Go” as well as Jaci Velesquez’ “Something
Beautiful.” She recently released a new CD, Stars, Guitars and Megaphone Dreams.
Along the way, she’s written devotional books for worship teams, launched a father-daughter
event with her dad, and provided church resource materials and led workshops for children’s
worship leaders. To learn more about Yancy, visit www.yancynotnancy.com.
