2025 MN South District National Young Women Representatives
Congratulations to our two MN South District Young Women Representatives (YWR), Jenna Baumgarn and Mary Poppe. Please keep Jenna and Mary in your prayers as they prepare to represent the MN South District at the LWML National Convention this June in Omaha, NE.

My name is Jenna Baumgarn. I live in Winona, MN with my husband and am a stay-at-home mom to my two sons. My hobbies include physical activity, writing, and drawing when I have time. We are active members of our home church, St. Martin’s Lutheran Church in Winona. I am slowly learning what being a LWML member involves and am hoping to be more involved as my children get older. I am very thankful to be chosen as a YWR and look forward to meeting many of the women that have been a driving force in our synod’s ministry. |

Hello! My name is Mary Poppe, and I’m from Lakefield, MN, where I’ve lived my entire life. I grew up on a farm just outside of town and moved into Lakefield about three years ago after purchasing my own home. I attend Immanuel Lutheran Church and am an active member of the LWML, currently serving as secretary of our local group. I’ve been a 4th grade teacher in the Worthington School District for seven years, and I truly enjoy working with students and helping them grow. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, doing puzzles, and scrapbooking. I’m excited to attend the national LWML convention to learn more, connect with others, and see how our efforts are making a global impact by spreading God’s Word. |
