The 2023 LWML National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is months away, but we are excited to start our search for our young woman representative (YWR). The LWML Minnesota South District women believe God is gently encouraging many young women to apply for this amazing opportunity. This woman could be you or a young woman in your congregation. Any woman who is interested in being a YWR should begin their application process in prayer. Then, complete the application and submit it to the Committee on Young Women (submission details are on the application). Finally, please continue to pray God provides discernment and direction for the LWML MNS Committee on Young Women.
Over the next couple of months, please be in prayer about who God is calling to be our YWR, for the committee who will select these Godly women, and the LWML National Committee as they prepare to help these women further grow in their faith in the Triune God and their knowledge of the LWML.
Blessings in Christ,
Tracy Eickhoff, Chair; Tabitha Hoffman; LaDonna Peterson; Stacey Sparkman; Adrienne Zhang

Stacey Sparkman
Hi! My name is Stacey Sparkman and I am super excited to have been selected as one of the Minnesota South District YWR’s to the Lexington Convention. I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I am originally from Florence, Kentucky about an hour south of Lexington. So, you could say the convention is a bit of a homecoming for me. When I was in my 20’s I loved traveling. I worked on a ranch in Montana and lived in Hawaii for a few years. We have lived in Howard Lake for 5 years. While Minnesota is home to me, Kentucky will always have a special place in my heart. I married the love of my life (Mike) 11 years ago and both of my wonderful children (Lane, 9 and Kennedy, 7) were born in Kentucky. I am the childcare director and the three-year-old preschool teacher at our church school. It’s my first year teaching full-time and I love every second of it! Needless to say that keeps me pretty busy. But in my spare time I enjoy reading, spending time with my little family, and cooking. In the summer you can find us camping just about every weekend. Mike and I enjoy going fishing together and have made it our goal to fish as many lakes in Minnesota as we possibly can. I love planning parties and events. I’ve even planned a few weddings. I am excited to meet other young women from across the United States who share the same values and prioritize serving the Lord.
