Just north of Jackson, Trinity Church’s campus hosted this year’s Health Fair, sponsored by Our Lady of the Lake. It’s in its fourth year, but the first year outside of town. “For one, it’s my home church,” said Rebecca Heinz, the nurse who organized the fair. “Second, we just have more room out here. At the Lions Club, where we normally do it, we don’t have room for live music, bouncy houses, the booths, and to cook all this free food.” The pastor of Trinity Church, Phillip Mitchel added, “You can’t reach people if you just tell them to come to church. But, if you give people access to food, music, and information about how to stay healthy, you can reach them.”
