April 8, 2023 (Mount Helix) – The 106th consecutive Sunrise Easter Service atop Mt. Helix will be held tomorrow at 6:30 a.m.  Free shuttle services begin at 5 a.m. from Grossmont High School, since there is no parking at the amphitheater.

The event is the second longest running Sunrise Easter Service in America, according to the Mt. Helix Park Foundation. The nation’s oldest is in Salem, North Carolina, which has held consecutive services since 1772.

The Mt. Helix Park Foundation and College Avenue Church invite you to enjoy a glorious sunrise over the mountains just as the service begins. 

Dress warmly, sinceit can be chilly before the sun comes up.

Krista Powers, Executive Director of the Mount Helix Park Foundation, says, “It’s no wonder why generation after generation return for one of the most amazing sights and services in America.
