GATLINBURG, TN -- Gatlinburg’s Annual Easter Sunrise Service will be enhanced by the beauty of the Smokies when the community and its visitors gather at Ober Gatlinburg for this memorable worship service. This will be the 19th year for the mountain top services at Ober. The 30-40 minute mountain service will begin at 6:30 A.M. and be led by local pastors of the Gatlinburg Ministerial Association.
