Mt. Helix Rises to the Easter Occasion

This year's Easter Sunrise Service will be hosted by Christ Lutheran Church of La Mesa, and will begin at 6:30 a.m.

It’s probably the prettiest Easter sunrise service in San Diego.

The Mt. Helix Park Easter Sunrise Service, now in its 96th year, attracts around 1,000 participants, making it the park’s most attended event. With the large cross set against a clear sky above La Mesa, it’s hard to imagine a more awe-inspiring spiritual experience this time of the year.

Mt. Helix Park Foundation executive director Tracey Stotz, who attends the service every year, said the park’s Easter program is one of the most inspirational services she has attended.
