Sneak Peek

Fall-2009-Catalog-Sneak-Peek.jpgI 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!

What was Sam Butcher's Inspiration?

Sam Butcher Painting Precious Moments Chapel.jpgThe 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..."

View the rest of the The State Journal-Register and hear about Mr. Butcher's inspiration and search for the perfect location for the Precious Moments Chapel.


Chapel Anniversary Attendees

We are hoping to gather more photos from this event that were taken by PM staff members, and are planning a Facebook photo album shortly.  See it here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Precious-Moments/23583415788

 

A Visit from Sam Butcher

SamButcherVisit.jpgSam Butcher took time out of his busy schedule, after spending time in Carthage, MO at the Chapel Anniversary Celebration, to visit the Precious Moments corporate offices in Rolling Meadows, IL yesterday. His visit was a treat for the staff and Mr. Butcher took time to meet and great each staffer. Mr. Butcher was even gracious enough to sign figurines for each employee. Thanks for the visit, Sam, we always love to see you!
