"Challenge Accepted?" -Pastor Joel

The average churchgoer prefers a longer sermon than the average pastor preaches. https://research.lifeway.com/2026/10/06/pastors-are-preaching-longer-with-churchgoer-support/

Grace United Methodist Men, Prairie North District and the Society of St. Andrews (SOSA) feed the hungry!

Grace United Methodist Men and Prairie North District UMM partnered with SOSA to give food that would have been left in the fields and gone to waste to hungry people. Of all the food raised in the US, 133 billion pounds (40%) goes to waste each year. While each year 40 million people in the US struggle with access to food.

SOSA is the America’s first and largest gleaning network. In 1974, the Northern Illinois Conference of United Methodist Men along with the then Rockford District worked with SOSA as they began their ministry. To raise awareness for the organization, the UMM potato pin was designed. These pins were designed here and are still in use today.

Over the years, the Prairie North District (Rockford District) has provided over 294,000 lbs. of free food to area residents through local community food pantries.
This year’s 40,000 lbs. of potatoes provided 1.4 million servings of food for people in seven counties. This could only have happened through the hard work of the District UMM and the cooperation of the Society of Saint Andrews.

The Northern Illinois Conference of United Methodist Men have been the top financial supporters to SOSA in all of Methodism, raising $70,846 over the last eight years.
This year for the first time, a satellite distribution team of men at Court Street United Methodist Church was set up in downtown Rockford because working cooperatively can provide greater access to those in need.

Many thanks to all the men and pantries that worked together to distribute potatoes for the 2023 Potato Drop.

Steve Nailor
Past District, Conference, and National President UMM
