“…but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."
Leviticus 19:18
Donation Classes
God asks us to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 19:19). A simple way we show this love for others is by offering Donation classes in which all proceeds from a certain class or series of classes are donated to a worthy cause. When we come together to honor and lend a hand to someone in need, we experience a true sense of community and catch a glimpse of how God meant for us to live with one another. The result is love; we love because He loved us first (1 John 4:19).
We had the privilege of helping Ana and her three daughters when they relocated to our community after Hurricane Katrina. We enjoyed a worshipful practice as we came together as the body of Christ and raised enough funds for rent and clothing.
We came together for two classes honoring Monica, who moved from her home with her three children and mother due to abuse issues. Through the money raised, Monica and her family were relocated to a safe home with first month’s rent paid.
God blessed us by allowing us to honor Reed and Kim Skinner and their three children, who were called to full time mission work at Emmanuel Orphanage in Honduras, home to 450 children, with a class that helped raise funds for their ministry. You can meet the awesome Skinner family and support their passion for furthering Christ’s kingdom by visiting: www.forhiskingdom.org.
We most recently held a donation class for our dear friend, Karen Smith, who was diagnosed with metastasized breast cancer in December, 2007. You can read about Karen’s amazing story of faith at www.carepages.com; name: karenannsmith.
St. Teresa of Avila said it well:
Christ has no body on earth now but yours; No hands, but yours;
No feet, but yours;
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out his
Compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
And yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.

Outreach
Using the same biblical principle as Donation classes, we show the love of Christ in an Outreach capacity by bringing complimentary Christ Centered Yoga™ classes to groups and organizations. These have recently included an active, fun filled time with the children and volunteers of Torch Urban Ministries and a deeply moving experience with our brothers and sisters struggling with addiction via the Friends of Recovery ministry.
Outreach is at the heart of what we believe. Please contact Becky with Outreach requests: becky@christcenteredyoga.org or (770) 861-8420.
Scholarships
We want everyone with a desire to experience Christ Centered Yoga™, either in the form of classes or teacher intensives, to be able to do so. If you have a scholarship request, please contact Becky: becky@christcenteredyoga.org or (770) 861-8420. |
