Join us this Easter as Christ Church Los Angeles in Atwater Village. Below you can find all the info about our Easter week celebrations.

Here's a quick summary, but keep scrolling for more info.

The word "maundy" is a Latin word meaning "commandment". Maundy Thursday celebrates the Passover meal Jesus ate with his disciples the night he was betrayed and arrested. It was during that meal that Jesus instituted Communion (sometimes called "The Lord's Supper”). Jesus broke bread saying: "This is my body, which is for you" and drank wine saying, "This is a new covenant in my blood poured out for the forgiveness of sins". He then gave them a commandment (maundy) that every time they meet together, they are to remember his sacrificial death on the cross for the forgiveness of sins by eating bread and drinking wine. This is what we celebrate on Maundy Thursday by eating a meal together and sharing communion. 

We do this meal potluck style. If you plan to come, please click the button below to let us know what you're bringing.

Just a couple of miles away from our church building is housed the largest painting in the entire Western United States. It's a painting by Polish artist Jan Styka of the scene of Jesus’ Crucifixion on Golgotha outside the city of Jerusalem. Not only is it visually stunning, it is spiritually enriching. Join us for a special viewing of the painting as a way of reflecting on the sacrifice made by Christ on our behalf. 

Arrive at the Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection at Forest Lawn Cemetery at 4:30 p.m. Doors will close just before 5 p.m. There is no entry allowed after the doors have closed and the presentation has begun.  

Click the link below for directions. Forest Lawn is a big place, so make sure to follow the directions in the link to arrive at the right place. 

We will have an Easter egg hunt on the church property before the service at 10:00 a.m. Eggs filled with prizes and candy will be scattered around the front of the church for kids to discover and hunt. Don't worry, adults, there will be coffee and donuts for you to enjoy as well.

Please come and join the fun!

Easter Sunday is a fantastic day to visit our church, especially if it’s your first time. You’ll be surrounded by lots of friendly faces, so you’ll feel right at home.

Our service is about an hour long. It’ll be a mix of Bible readings, prayers, songs, and confessions led by our church members. Then, our lead pastor, Ken, will share a message from the Bible about why Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is so important for us today. To end the service, we’ll share the Lord’s Supper and express our gratitude to God through songs and prayer.

Stick around after the service at 12:15 for appetizers from Portos and free made-to-order drinks from the Lucky Bison Coffee Cart.
