Precious Moments would like to thank Kathy & Janet Lennon, original stars of The Lawrence Welk Show, for joining us at the 20th Anniversary Celebration at the Precious Moments Chapel on June 18 in Carthage, Missouri!

Kathy, Janet and Janet's adorable 3 grandchildren graced the collectors with a talented show of singing and a wonderful walk down memory lane.  Afterwards, they signed their dolls created by Precious Moments, as well as their own line of dolls, Best Pals, at the Chapel Gift Shop.

To see all of the photos from their visit, please visit our Facebook page next week.

I am just returning from a trip to Milwaukee, WI to print our Early Fall Catalog.  The weather was beautiful and the press run went smoothly!  I am so excited about the cover of this catalog, because it shows our new Chapel Exclusive, "Sharing The Joy of My Faith" along with a photo of the PM Chapel in Carthage, MO.  The figurine represents Sam sitting in his art studio drawing plans for the Chapel, which is timely because the Chapel just celebrated it's 20th anniversary. The catalog cover has received great response when showing it around the office.  You can get a sneak peek preview of the catalog when you click here!  Catalogs will be in the mail July 24th.  If you are not on our mailing list, click here to sign up!

The State Journal-Register ran a story covering the Precious Moments Chapel and its 20th anniversary celebration. The article discusses what inspired Sam Butcher to create the Chapel & Park.

"I got out my paints and started working, and I was really so enthusiastic about it, and I was so inspired by what I was doing, that I finished them all off in four days. It was basically (working) all day and all night, with only a couple hours of sleep..."
