Reverend Amy

Welcome to our website!

I am so glad that you are checking out our site here at Tualatin United Methodist Church.  I hope that you come by for a visit sometime.  Join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am. or stop by the office Mon.-Thur. from 9:00 am. – 3:00 pm.

I originally hail from Binghamton, New York (that is the big part of the state above New York City and Long Island) and have happily been an Oregon transplant for many years now.  I attended graduate school at Boston University where I received my seminary training and degree.

Being born into a family of school teachers, teaching is in my blood and I love it.  Let me know if there is a topic that interests you and maybe we could make a class of it.  Bible study, worship, prayer, environment issues, peace with justice, science and religion, learning about our neighbors of other faiths, etc…so much to learn and never enough time!

It seems to me that most folks search for being a part of something bigger than themselves; something truly meaningful for the good of the world.  I would love to partner with you in finding your spiritual passion and calling.  The possibilities are as unique as each individual and you never know what you might find in worship, in a class, in a service project, in visiting your neighbors, in prayer, in mission.

I believe that the primary attribute of God is grace.  Not just a prayer time at a meal, but radical grace that brings us into community with one another, with love and respect and compassion.  God’s grace is given freely and without anyone having to meet some arbitrary human measure.  God cannot be put into some definable category, nor fit into a tiny box.   God has something in store for you.

Come by sometime and we can find a time to talk together.  Let’s find out what God has in store.

Blessings,

Reverend Amy Overton-Harris
