New Preaching point in Pačeriaukštė. A little more than one year ago the Lithuanian Pagalbos Centras purchased a small house in this village. The intent was to provide a place in the community for feeding children after school, a wash program, and emergency shelter for women and children in domestic violence situations. Last spring Pastor Walla Carllson began holding worship services at the house one Sunday afternoon each month. Now others share in leading this worship. Persons from this village and surrounding villages are now coming for “spiritual” food. Normally 25 attend, sometimes as many as 50.
New Preaching point in Šveicarija. Last spring a couple from this village attended a Bible Study at our church in Ukmergė. They had a relative who attended the Ukmergė Church, about 50 kilometers from their village. They attended twice and then asked if it were possible for us to begin a Bible Study in their village. They were willing to offer their home. They saw that there are many needs in their village, especially with children and wanted to perhaps create a church community that could help. In the summer 5 youth from this Bible Study attended our youth camp. Now 8-10 folks meet on a weekly basis led by Pastor Remigijus. A core group from this Bible Study also attend the Kaunas Church on a regular basis.
