Seguin Confirmands raise $275 for mission

Members of the First UMC, Seguin, confirmation class gather with their pastors, the Revs. Lonnie Phillips (upper right) and Linda Montgomery (upper left), after joining the congregation May 15. The 25 sixth graders raised
$275 for Advance Special 123456 (A Child). That designated second-mile offering supports United Methodist ministries with children worldwide. The
2005 class was the largest ever confirmed at First UMC. Youngsters spent 15 weeks preparing to join the congregation. Christian Education Director Candace Wilson led the group through classroom activities, a mission project and a retreat.
