Jazz@Wesley presents

Dwayne Adell

SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 - 6:30-8:30 P.M. WESLEY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Dwayne Adell is one of the great Jazz pianists. He is featured in a recent documentary about the New Jazz Greats “Oxygen for the Ears: Living Jazz”. He performed as the solo pianist on Quincy Jones ‘Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration’ which won a Grammy and Dove award.
Performing recently at the historic Bohemian Caverns, Luke Stewart of Capitalbop.com reviews that “On Friday, [Dwayne Adell’s] mastery translated into a magnificent display of improvised soul in a jazz piano trio. Few other than D.C.’s own top musicians could have kept up with Adell’s seemingly endless stream of fresh ideas and blazing technique. That’s why it was a thrill to hear the young bassist Kris Funn and drummer Quincy Phillips alongside him at the Caverns.
His love for Jazz is translated into many insightful things that have come to shape the way he sees and hears life. And his passion is to perform live Jazz to an audience.
He delighted to be joined again by two wonderful instrumentalists:
Kris Funn, on Bass.
Quincy Phillips, on Drums.

On December 5, 2011 the Wesley congregation participated in the WIN Rally (Washington Interfaith Network) We had a total of 40 with the MUCC. Wesley had a total of 5 participants. We thank all who participated and those who wanted to.

The WIN's goal will now more reflectively try to accomplish more goals in obtaining more affordable housing, and invest more in the community for more assesable job employment.

It is our hope that the community of Wesely will have more participation for the WIN organization as we go farther along in our closer interaction with our community.

Our Church

Wesley United Methodist Church - A multi-ethnic, international, upbeat, alternative church in Northwest Washington, DC., part of the Metropolitan Memorial Cooperative Parish.

Wesley UMC is a joyful and inclusive community of faith, deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus and ecumenical in spirit. As a congregation we seek to embody what we long for the world to become: welcoming of all persons, respectful of earth and its creatures, concerned for justice and human well-being, alive with the arts, embracing of children, eager to defend the under-privileged and the vulnerable, open to grow and learn. We believe our faith calls us individually and corporately to practice love and reconciliation and thus join Christ's Spirit in building a better world.

Our Mission

Building an inclusive, caring Christian community that invites others into a deepening relationship with God and challenges them to grow as disciples for the transformation of the world.

Services

Weekly worship services are held on Sundays at 11:00AM.

Wesley Rocks!

What People Say About Wesley:
Diversity in DC Churches: Some may have read the recent article by Annie Gowen (Washington Post) about Calvary Baptist Church. Calvary Baptist Church has been proactive in "melding cultures in a diverse era".  This church should be commended for the steps it is taking to spiritually bridge together communities, in a city which is still noted for its socio-economic segregation.   New families, people young and old, often have to search for a church that they can call their spiritual home. Diversity in a church is not a nice to have but a true need to have.  Tomorrow's world will be a manifestation of the internet world; diverse, multi-lingual and integrated, whether we choose to embrace that impending reality or not.  In our own Chevy Chase community, Wesley United Methodist Church,  should also be noted as a truly international and multicultural church.  Radical hospitality is the norm, and people respect and celebrate each others similarities and differences.  There is real sense of community self. Wesley has had some services in English and Spanish and is reintroducing a bilingual Sunday school program.   The church  has a multi-award winning Afro-Latino ministry.  And the food is always international potluck style!  Wesley recently held its 181st Easter Sunday service this week.  It was a beautiful service. The church is not perfect, but it seeks to learn more and do better.   Wesley UMC would love to welcome you on Sunday at 11am.
