Victory starts recovery ministry

Victory Lutheran Church will launch a new ministry titled “Celebrate Recovery” at 6 p.m. Friday with a concert by Cody James.

James wrote songs for Loretta Lynn’s publishing company, Coal Miner Music. He traveled with Lynn on the road, and had songs recorded by Lynn, Pam Tillis and Mark Chestnut.

James also wrote, sang and produced the theme song for a Tim Curry movie called “Pirates of the Plain.”

Cody James Ministries aims to take the gospel message of Christ into the world with the combination of original music and his personal testimony.

Meeting every Friday at 6 p.m. at Victory Lutheran, each Celebrate Recovery meeting will include a light meal, praise and worship, teaching, testimony and small groups. There is no charge but a freewill offering will be taken.

This program is for those who desire to see change in what seems to be hopeless situations and to be set free from all kinds of sinful habits, addictions and hurts such as alcoholism, sexual abuse, codependency, domestic violence, divorce, depression and addictions such as drugs, sex, food and gambling.

Victory Lutheran is located at 510 Ninth Ave. SW. For more information, call 251-1570.
