Bri-anne Swan hasn't added a story.
Hi! My name is Bri-anne Swan and I lead a Community Ministry with the
United Church of Canada in East Gwillimbury, Ontario. I am also a
student of Diaconal Ministry at the Centre for Christian Studies in
Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Like most theological schools, my colleagues and I create, lead
and participate in worship services. We are fortunate to have two
pianos available to us. We are also fortunate to have many students
who are skilled singers and musicians to help lead us in song.
A few of us also play the guitar. Unfortunately, CCS does not
have a guitar that resides at the school. This isn't the worst thing
ever - I mean, guitars are portable, right!? The thing is that the
students for CCS travel from all over the country to study for two
weeks at a time. Flying with a guitar is...not always fun. I used to
tour around the country and I was always worried about whether my
guitar was going to arrive in the same condition as it went on the
plane. It's also just one more thing to schlep around, or pay for as
a checked bag.
It would be so nice to have a guitar that just lived at the
school, available for anybody to use.
I'm not talking a Gibson here (although how cool would that be?), just a simple Epiphone, case, capo, tuner and humidifier.
Although I've asked permission to raise some money for a guitar, I am not asking on behalf of CCS - I'm doing this on my own, though the school is aware.
Any amount large or small or teensy helps. $600 isn't a
massive amount for such a wonderful hive of people. Our next
circle begins on April 11th and it would be great to have the guitar
to use next week.
Thank you, friends!
