sending email from apex (in LEX) not populating Classic Email Template

I'm sending emails generated in Apex from Lightning.  The emails are sending but they're coming through without an email body, despite a classic email template being set.
  
EmailTemplate template = [Select id, subject from EmailTemplate where name = 'My Template' limit 1];
...
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage msg = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
msg.setTemplateId(template.Id);   // <<--- look
...
system.debug(Messaging.sendEmail(emails,false) );

The SendEmailResult generated by the system.debug shows... 
15:34:51:342 USER_DEBUG [35]|DEBUG|Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[
getBccAddresses=null;
getCcAddresses=null;
getCharset=null;
getEntityAttachments=null;
getFileAttachments=null;
getHtmlBody=null;
getInReplyTo=null;
getOptOutPolicy=SEND;
getOrgWideEmailAddressId=0D20U0000008P2cSAE;
getPlainTextBody=null;
getReferences=null;
getTargetObjectId=0030U00000eXdLNQA0;
getTemplateId=00Xf4000000h8eaEAA;    // <<--- look
getToAddresses=null;
getWhatId=null;
isTreatBodiesAsTemplate=false;
isTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient=true;
isUserMail=false;
]

getTemplateId is showing the correct id for the Classic Email Template.

So -- all is perfect, except the template isn't coming through in the email.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Steve

Here's the code...
  
public static void sendReminderEmails(list<contact> people){
		id sender = getSender();   // <== works perfectly
		EmailTemplate template = getTemplate();   // <== works perfectly
		if (sender == null || template == null) return;

		List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();

		for (contact p : people){
			if (p.email == null || p.email == '') continue;  // skip records w/o and email address
			string subject = subjString(p);

			Messaging.SingleEmailMessage msg = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
		 	msg.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(sender);
			msg.setTemplateId(template.Id);
			msg.setTargetObjectId(p.id);
			msg.setSaveAsActivity(true);
			msg.setSubject('Your ' + subject);
			emails.add(msg);  
		}

		try {
			// Messaging.sendEmail(emails,false);
			system.debug(Messaging.sendEmail(emails,false) );
		} catch (Exception e) {
			lpTools.LogError('DriverRelatedReminders_handler.sendEmails - sending emails', e);
		}
	}

Hi Steve,

Update your code as below: 
public static void sendReminderEmails(list<contact> people){
		id sender = getSender();   // <== works perfectly
		EmailTemplate template = getTemplate();   // <== works perfectly
		if (sender == null || template == null) return;

		List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();

		for (contact p : people){
			if (p.email == null || p.email == '') continue;  // skip records w/o and email address
			string subject = subjString(p);

			Messaging.SingleEmailMessage msg = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
		 	msg.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(sender);
			msg.setTemplateId(template.Id);
			msg.setTargetObjectId(p.id);
			msg.setSaveAsActivity(true);
			msg.setSubject('Your ' + subject);
			emails.add(msg);  
		}

		try {
				Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results = Messaging.sendEmail(emails);
                System.debug('Sent To-->'+results );
			    system.debug(Messaging.sendEmail(emails,false) );
		} catch (Exception e) {
			    lpTools.LogError('DriverRelatedReminders_handler.sendEmails - sending emails', e);
		}
	}
