Today in Birzai we connected with our Reformed brothers and sisters by visiting the Superintendent of the Synod of Lithuania Reverend Rimas Mikalauskas. He and 3 of his young confirmation students, Skaiste, Irma, and Laurynas, showed us around. They took us to 2 ERCL churches dating from the 17th century. We also saw a children's shelter operated by the Reformed Church. The Nemunelis Radviliskis Church, right on the border with Latvia, is the site for a children's summer church camp. There the church ladies prepared a high tea for us. Later, the young folks took us to visit the castle of the dukes of Radiavils. It is a large museum and an active archaeological site. Another pastor, Sagita Svambariene, took some of us to see the longest walking bridge in all of Lithuania.
