A L ETTER FROM Club Headquarters

Dear Club Members,

Summer is nearly here, and we are in the mood to celebrate! This time of year gives us so many reasons to get together with family and friends – we’re tossing hats at graduations, toasting the bride and groom at weddings, taking vacations with our families, and enjoying laughs and great food at casual backyard barbecues. All of these moments give us a chance to make great memories with those most important to us; it’s no accident that they also inspire so many of our Precious Moments gifts and figurines! We also have some exciting Precious Moments events this Summer, like artist signings, the Disney convention, and of course our annual Family Reunion Event at the Precious Moments Chapel. We hope to bump into you at some of these fun events. During this season, we would also like to offer our congratulations to Mishell Hoover, whom you have come to know as your National Club Manager. Mishell is transitioning to a new role as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Precious Moments Foundation. All of us at Club Headquarters congratulate her on this well-deserved new position. Mishell is passing the torch to long-time Precious Moments employee, Karen Jones, who is excited for the opportunity to lead your Club as we continue through 2019 with our message of unity. Read more about Karen on page 7. We hope this issue of MOMENTS inspires you to make the most of the glorious Summer months ahead. Whether it’s taking a road trip with the grandkids or finding a way to incorporate the themes of Precious Moments into your gardens or home décor, we wish you a Summer full of loving, caring, and sharing. Please continue to write or post to our Facebook page to share your Summer moments with us. We love hearing from our Club Members!

SUMMER 2019

A MESSAGE FROM PRECIOUS MOMENTS CREATOR, SamButcher

Dear Beloved Friends,

While I was in the Philippines earlier this year, I was unexpectedly faced with a cardiac procedure and major surgery. While the care team was excellent, there was a bit of uncertainty. Yet, I was never alone, for my faith and trust remained in the Lord. My family has shared that they spent countless hours in prayer, talking with the doctors and each other. Words cannot express how honored, humbled, and grateful I am for all of their prayers and yours. During this difficult time, I realized it was important for me to accept my shortcomings, discard blame, and seek forgiveness. Faulting others for our shortcomings is as old as the story of Adam and Eve. She attributes the sin to evil, and Adam blames her. The story goes on even to this day. There is a special mural in Philip’s room at the Chapel that tells the story of Philip as he stands beside an angel at Heaven’s Gate. In the mural, there is a shelf of some of Philip’s favorite things. One of them is a moose that once was his imaginary friend. He loved that little moose, and it was clear that they were the best of friends. When Philip did something naughty and we confronted him, he would say, “I didn’t do it. The moose did,” and he would not confess or accept responsibility. Confession can be cleansing at any age, but it cannot come without humility. In 1 John 1:9 we learn, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Confessing our shortcomings to one another, if it’s done with true humility, is as honest as saying, “I was wrong.” “It was my fault.” “Please forgive me.” My message to you is, accept, confess, and pray. As one of the Original 21 Precious Moments figurines reminds us, prayer changes things. I am thankful to share that all your prayers did change things in my life, and I am growing in strength every day. As we look forward to seeing each other at the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Precious Moments Chapel this July, I respectfully ask you to continue in prayer. I will do the same. Just as you prayed for me, let us pray for each other, our families, and Precious Moments.

Blessings,

Sam B.

Precious Moments Family of Companies, Inc. CEO A NOTE FROM John

Hello Club Members,

You may or may not have heard that I have recently assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Precious Moments Family of Companies, Inc. As the new person on the block at Precious Moments, I want to say how happy I am to be here! What a great company, timeless brand, and wonderful team to work with. Let me first start by thanking Steve “Kos” Kosmalski for his out- standing leadership of this company over the past four years and for handing over the helm so professionally. I have worked with and for Kos earlier in my career, and he has taught me much about leadership, passion, and hard work during our years together. I wish him and his wonderful family much enjoyment in the next phase of his life, which he so richly deserves. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work on behalf of truly great consumer brands, and Precious Moments may be the most powerful one yet! Never before have I been associated with a brand that evokes such positive emotion from so many people. Still, after 40-plus years, Precious Moments continues to have tremendous relevance and meaning among its dedicated followers, such as Club Members like you. The goal for our team is to keep the Precious Moments message as meaningful and vibrant as ever, to both our core collectors as well as new audiences. We plan to ensure the brand remains healthy for years to come! I promise to keep you updated on our efforts.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you all and getting to know you at the Reunion this summer.

All the best,

John Lanman

SUMMER 2019

A Collector 's Story

For some people, Precious Moments collecting is a fun hobby. For others, Precious Moments has allowed them to meet new people, explore new places, and express the emotions they feel in their hearts. Then there are those people whose lives have been intricately intertwined with the very spirit of Precious Moments. Long time Precious Moments employee, Karen Jones, is one of those people. She shares what Precious Moments means to her.

I began collecting Precious Moments more than 30 years ago when one of my best friends gave me two of the Original 21 figurines, E1372B and E1372G – the Jesus Loves Me boy and girl figurines – for my birthday. From that day on I loved Precious Moments and those figurines continue to be very special pieces to me. Another favorite was given to me from my parents, 12009 Love Covers All . One of my earliest Precious Moments memories dates back to the mid-1980s. I had joined a local Collectors’ Club at a Springfield, MO area store, and they were going to have an event with a special guest. It was going to be Mr. Butcher! I knew that I wanted to meet him and when I did, it solidified my love of Precious Moments. A few years later, my sisters told me that they had heard that Mr. Butcher and Precious Moments were going to be building the Chapel in Carthage, MO. They suggested I apply for a job when the time came. Along with my application, I wrote a letter about how much I loved Precious Moments and what it meant to me. I was so excited when I received the call to come out for an interview. I already had a job at the time, and the only time I could make it was on a Saturday. Mrs. Terri Heckmaster (who now serves as President of the Foundation) was so gracious and agreed to interview me

on a Saturday. It turned out to be quite the memorable interview! Terri was going to interview me at one of the houses on the Chapel grounds due to construction taking place to complete the Chapel and Visitor Center. When I arrived for my interview, Terri and I set off the security alarms! I remember thinking, “Oh, this is a great thing to happen at my interview!” After a few weeks I was excited to receive a call to come in for a second interview. While the first interview was low-key with just Terri and myself, when I arrived for the second interview there seemed to be hundreds of people lining the stairs of the Visitor Center waiting to be interviewed. When my turn came, I was taken to an office and introduced to several Butcher family members as "the lady who wrote the letter". Thankfully, they seemed very impressed with me and my letter. The rest is history! I was offered a job and I started working for the Precious Moments Chapel Gift Shoppe on June 9, 1989 and I am still here today, many positions later. Most of the significant moments in my adult life have included Precious Moments. From meeting my husband (he was a security guard) to our two wonderful sons, my coworkers have shared in these many memories and blessings. Precious Moments truly has been a second family for me.

Helping Kids Who Need It Most

How Our Partnership with Feed the Children Makes a Difference

Photo and content courtesy of Feed the Children.

Philanthropic partnerships have long been a cornerstone of the values of Precious Moments. We are proud to continue this tradition of giving through our ongoing relationship with Feed the Children. As you already know, this amazing organization aims to end childhood hunger, providing hope and resources to children and families since 1979. What you may not know, is Feed the Children provides disaster relief as well serving families and communities when they need it most. When storm winds blow, waters rise, or fires rage, the physical and psychological impact on children is immense. They can lose their sense of safety and struggle to understand what has happened. Natural disasters not only rob children of their homes and their prized possessions, they can take away a child’s sense of security. In an effort to provide children hope and comfort in the wake of devastation, Feed the Children now provides Kids Disaster Packs equipped with much-needed essentials and kid-friendly supplies. The packs are lightweight, sturdy, and easy-to-carry as a child takes their first steps on the road to recovery. Recently, Feed the Children has provided relief to families affected by disasters all across the county – in Alabama, Nebraska, South Carolina, Florida, and California! This service would not be possible without the collaborative relationships established between the organization’s community, corporate partners, and the giving public at large. With your help, kids can feel safer and receive emergency supplies when it matters most. A donation of $30 can make a real difference in the life of a child in a community just like yours. You can make your donation at FeedTheChildren.org or when you check out at PreciousMoments.com. Also, when you purchase select Precious Moments product, a portion of the proceeds directly benefits Feed the Children.

Giving Plate | 189002

Elephant Mealtime Gift Set | 182418

Precious Moments is just as relevant today as it was in 1978, inspiring people to stay connected with friends, family, and neighbors, to make their communities better, and to share love with one another. Did you know that the Precious Moments Chapel welcomes more than 250,000 visitors a year? There are 400 guests who attend the Reunion Event each year alone! Precious Moments Cruises host 150 – 200 people each time they embark, plus countless fans attend artist signings and events throughout the country.

Display all three of these designs in a row to make an impact or leave one next to the coffee pot to hold coffee stirrers. The options are endless! These gifts will be available beginning in July at your favorite Precious Moments retailers and at www. PreciousMoments.com.
