Lessons in Apple Farming

by Pam Penrose,
Member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Webster Groves


Johnny Appleseed, aka Dale Penrose, and Farmer Steve, aka Steve Cunningham, both parishioners at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Webster Groves, visited with the kids enrolled in Emmanuel's Preschool on Wednesday, Oct. 13.
"Johnny" related his story and then provided each student with a freshly squeezed glass of apple cider utilizing a homemade cider press that he fashioned.
"Farmer Steve" allowed each student to sit on and get their picture taken on a 1949 Ford tractor that he restored himself. Each student also got to take home an apple.
Emmanuel is home to an apple orchard planted in the triangular piece of land between Lockwood and Big Bend avenues. Still in its infant stages, it is the hope that the orchard will produce lots and lots of apples to share with all in the area.

Welcome from Our Bishop Find a Church Diocesan Calendar Clergy Resources

We believe in a loving, life-giving and liberating God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe God loves you -- no exceptions!

We invite you to be a part of our faith journey.

The Rt. Rev. Deon K. Johnson is the leader of our diocese. He was elected as our bishop on Nov. 23, 2019, and ordained on June 13, 2020, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.

Approximately 10,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Missouri find their faith home with us. About three-quarters of our members are in the metro St. Louis area, but our diocese reaches much farther than St. Louis. You will find more than 40 Episcopal churches, missions and faith communities as far north as Kirksville, as far west as Columbia, and as far south as Poplar Bluff (and many points in between).

If you are looking for a church home or a just a faith community to visit, we invite you to explore The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri.
