Montview Confirms Thirty-Three Youth

Under chilly gray skies, families joyfully gathered on the south patio of Montview for a special worship service on Sunday, 5/9, to celebrate the confirmation of thirty-three youth who completed a most unusual year of religious exploration. Led by youth minister Amanda Osenga, the confirmands met almost every Sunday on Zoom, often joined by their confirmation partners and by guest speakers. The class was the largest at Montview in many decades and as part of their studies, the youth completed a service project. At Sunday’s celebration, the confirmands were recognized and three women were baptized into the church.
