 PRELUDE
Nun komm der Heiden Heiland J.S. Bach
THE  LIGHTING  OF  THE  ADVENT  WREATH
Leader: For many centuries now, followers of Jesus have celebrated his birth on the 25th day of
December and created the season of Advent to prepare for that joyful day of Christmas
celebration.
People: At this time of the year in Advent preparation, we decorate our homes and our
church. We light candles. We read such ancient admonitions as "You know what
time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is
nearer to us now than when we became believers; let us then lay aside the works
of darkness and put on the armor of light." (Romans 13:11-12).
Leader: The Gospel of John describes the armor of light this way: "All things came into being
through God, and without God not one thing came into being. What has come into
being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." (John 1:3-5).
People: We are people who follow the light of the world. The light of the world is Jesus;
his way, his truth, his life. Already the Advent candles of Christ our Hope and
Christ our Way have been lit as we celebrate this season of watching for the
coming of Jesus among us, our Emmanuel. Today we light the candle of Christ
our Joy. Our wreath and our hearts burn more brightly.
Tolling of the Advent Bell and Procession of the Light
Choral Response: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in
lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.
All: (singing) REJOICE! REJOICE! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Lighting of the Third Advent Wreath Candle: CHRIST OUR JOY.
Congregational Prayer:
Leader: As the Advent Candles of Christ our Hope, the Way and our Joy burn before us, let us
pray together:
All: Loving God, your Church joyfully awaits the coming of its Savior, who enlightens
our hearts and dispels the darkness of ignorance and sin. Pour forth your blessings
upon us as we see the light of the candles of this wreath. May their light reflect the
splendor of Christ, who is Lord, for ever and ever. Amen.

at 7:30pm on
Christmas Eve
December 24
Dear Friends of First Church: There is still time to become an official member of First United
Methodist Church. Although membership in is not required for full participation in the life of the
church, membership is an affirmation of your faith in God and Jesus Christ and a commitment to
those values for which the church stands. If you are ready to make this affirmation and commitment
at First Church, we would love to have you participate.
On Sunday, January 10, 2010, we will receive new members during our worship service at
11:00am. An orientation session will be held at 9:30am on that day in the parlor on the lower level
of the church. This session provides you with "inside" information about First Church as well as
an opportunity for you to hear from Dr. Chalker and others about our dynamic community of faith.
If you are not sure if you want to join but would just like to know more about the church, you are
most welcome to attend this orientation.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call us at the church office (216-432-0150) or
email either of us at jsockman@firstchurchcleveland.com or khogg@firstchurchcleveland.com.
To help us plan for the 10th, please let us or the church office know by Tuesday, January 5 if you
plan to attend.

* = section leader
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi composed this Gloria, RV 589, in Venice, probably in 1715, for the choir
of the Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for girls. The Ospedale prided itself on the quality of its
musical education and the excellence of its choir and orchestra. Vivaldi, a priest, music teacher
and virtuoso violinist, composed many sacred works for the Ospedale, where he spent most of his
career, as well as hundreds of instrumental concertos to be played by the girls' orchestra. This, his
most famous choral piece, presents the traditional Gloria from the Latin Mass in twelve varied
cantata-like sections. The wonderfully sunny nature of the Gloria, with its distinctive melodies and
rhythms, is characteristic of all of Vivaldi's music, giving it an immediate and universal appeal. Today
Vivaldi is one of the most popular of all composers, who during his lifetime enjoyed considerable
success and fortune which he squandered through extravagance. When he died in Vienna he was
buried in a pauper's grave. For two centuries after his death, the Gloria lay undiscovered until the
late 1920s when it was found buried among a pile of forgotten Vivaldi manuscripts. However, it
was not performed until September 1939 in Siena in an edition by composer Alfredo Casella. This
was by no means an authentic edition (he described it as an "elaborazione"), as he embellished
the original orchestration of trumpet, oboe, strings, and continuo while reducing the role of the
continuo, and cut sections from three movements. It was not until 1957 that the now familiar
original version was published and given its first performance at the First Festival of Baroque
Choral Music at Brooklyn College, NY. – Peter Carey, Royal Free Singers
