Pastor Glenn and Brook Poplawski
Holy Fire International Church deems its first Barn Event a success,
plans in the works for a second one
We are excited to share photos and videos from the first barn event hosted by Holy Fire International Church. The event, at Teton Ranch in Manhattan, Illinois, was for families with children who attend The Seven Carrot Learning Center, where they provide customized therapy for individuals with autism and related disorders.
About 40 parents and children attended the event designed to create a welcoming atmosphere for parents and their children with autism. Parents were able to relax and enjoy the afternoon, while the therapists watched over the children as they played games outside and visited with the church's two horses, Dillinger and Nelson. Before they left, the kids asked when we would have another barn event, so at their request, we will have our second event at the end of the summer.
