​Ensemble@9:
​Acoustic music Sundays at 9:00

At 9:00 am on Sundays, we sing as a corporate expression of our faith and as a way to enter into being a worshipful community. The "Loose@9" ensemble includes a dedicated cadre of voices (our primary instrument) supported by additional instruments that are plucked, picked, bowed, shaken, blown or tapped. Our mission is to support our singing congregation and its enjoyment of musical worship. A sanctuary of heartily singing people is a pleasure to serve!
​
Our sound is a mix of traditional, folk & celtic flavors. Participa-tion in Loose@9 reflects a call to ministry and commitment to 3-4 hours a week, with the Thursday evening rehearsal at 7:00 pm, some individual preparation, and the Sunday morning service. It  is a joyful opportunity to work and play together. Talk to one of us if you’re interested, or for more information, connect with director Ken Gilman, 980-1865,
