June 2026
From the desk of
REV. DR. CHINMA UCHE
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I write to you after our successful celebration of Father’s Day. To all the men in our church, I hope you had a great day. You are truly loved and appreciated. Please continue to draw strength from God who has called you, who understands you and is always able to meet your needs, all the time. Please continue also to keep God at the forefront of all you do. You will find God faithful. It is truly a blessing to serve God with you at Bloomfield United Methodist Church. God bless you all in Jesus’ name. Amen!
What a mighty God we serve! I want to also use this opportunity to thank God for my ordination
on June 14, 2026 by our Bishop, Bishop Thomas J. Bickerton during the 227 th session of the
Annual Conference of the New York Annual Conference. It was a beautiful day of special
blessing for me, my family and the church of Jesus Christ. God spoke clearly to me in 1984, and
changed the course of my life, through 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 which says:
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
and the God of all consolation, 4 who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we
may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with
which we ourselves are consoled by God.”
Through this passage, God commissioned me to share what God had done for me. God has
blessed me with so many gifts, miracles and answered prayers. I could not have imagined that
God will lead me to be an Elder in Full Connection in his church. I have been blessed in
unimaginable ways; for this, I am humbled and grateful to God and all the people that helped me
through the journey. To our faithful God be all the honor and glory in Jesus’ name. Amen!
I can only encourage you to remain faithful to God. Every word God has given you will come to
pass, including the assurance of salvation to all who trust Jesus as Lord and Savior.
As I write also, I am reminded that I joined Bloomfield United Methodist Church on July 1, 2025
making it almost a year of ministry here. I thank God for the love and support I have received.
Furthermore, I am thankful to all who have attended worship, Bible Study, Prayer meeting,
participated in the church activities and supported the church financially and otherwise to the
glory of God’s name. Our gracious God, who promises to reward us with more than we give, will
provide for all your need and give you the resources to do more and fulfill your ministry.
During the annual conference, I was also reappointed to BUMC for another year by our Bishop
and his Cabinet. By the grace of God, we are therefore called to continue to work together for the
glory of God in our Bloomfield community and beyond, sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
Our church is hosting our annual Strawberry Festival on June 27. I am grateful for the planning
committee and all who have worked hard to plan this activity. I am equally grateful to all who
supported financially to kick off the planning for the event.
Within the last month, we also celebrated our young people on Sunday, May 31, 2026, honoring
graduating seniors and those who are moving to the next grade or work. Thanks be to God! May
God continue to bless them and keep them safe!
On a final note, I want to personally thank members of our church community, the Hospitality
Committee, that continually make it possible for people to interact socially by providing
refreshment and other sorts of edibles in our fellowship hall at the end of each service.
May the blessings of God Almighty be with you and your loved ones now and always! Amen!
With grace and love, in Jesus’ name.
