First Lesson
Exodus 12:29-39, 42
29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh
that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that
was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants,
and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for
there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise
up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children
of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and
be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might
send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all
dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses;
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment:
36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians,
so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And
they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks,
and herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought
forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were
thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared
for themselves any victual.
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing
them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD
to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

1 Corinthians 16:15-24
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas,
that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted
themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that
helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus:
for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge
ye them that are such.

you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

kiss.
