Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge announced that Trinity Lutheran Church will host the MnTC choir in a free performance at 9 a.m. Jan. 19 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. The MnTC choir is known statewide, having performed at more than 225 churches in 2013.

The choir’s contemporary gospel and praise songs will be accompanied by inpsiring client stories of addiction recovery. Additonally, representatives from the program will be available following the service to answer questions about the programs of MnTC.

“The event is open to the public, and all are welcome,” said Anthony Bass, MnTC Church relations manager.

Since 1983, MnTC has been restoring hope to people of all ages struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

MnTC offers both a long-term, faith-based recovery program and a shorter-term licensed treatment program called Life Renewal allowing the group to serve individuals with a broad spectrum of addiction issues.

Each Sunday, groups of MnTC residents visit regional churches where they share inspirational songs and personal stories of their recovery from addiction.
