The World’s Most Recognized Inspirational Brand The official publication of the Precious Moments Collectors' Club® by Precious Moments Co., Inc.

Early Autumn Greetings! As I sat down to write this letter I was suddenly struck by all the times I’ve been able to connect with my Precious Moments family, sharing a little bit of my story while also hearing about yours. Whether through letters like this, emails, phone calls, seminars, or even silent prayers, our communications have always given me joy and a sense of family belonging. We may not be related by blood, but we ARE family nonetheless. For nearly three decades (29 years to be exact!) you all have been there for my life’s happy milestones as well as the sorrowful valleys. I’d like to thank you for that. I feel so fortunate to have made such friends through my career, and I make new ones each year. One of the best chances for me to reconnect with Precious Moments family is at the annual Family Reunion Event held in Carthage, Missouri each Summer. We are excited to share some highlights from this year’s Event in this issue. You’ll also hear from a fellow collector and get a peek at what’s new for the coming seasons! It’s no secret that some of my favorite stories from collectors are the ones that speak to sharing the joy of Precious Moments with family members. I have seen some of you become parents and grandparents during my tenure, and you, in turn, have seen my babies grow. It truly is amazing to be able to share these moments of loving, caring, and sharing with so many different people from around the country and around the world. It is just further proof that you don’t have to share genes – family is from the heart! Again, thank you for being mine and for sharing 40 years of Precious Moments.

A MESSAGE FROM PRECIOUS MOMENTS CREATOR, SamButcher

Dear Club Members,

I always look forward to our Precious Moments Events, as greeting collectors and signing their figurines is one of my greatest joys. One of the many blessings that I receive during an Event is when I see a child waiting in line with a figurine in their hand, because that gives me an opportunity to do what I like the most. After signing their figurine, I reach into a box beside my chair and take out a figurine to give to them. The expression on their face is wonderful, especially when I tell them that it is a gift to them from Mr. Butcher. During the signing at the last Event a lovely young mother handed her figurine to me, and beside her was her little boy. He also had a figurine, and after signing it I said, “young man, I have something very special for you today,” and I gave him a figurine of a little boy in a fire truck. His eyes lit up and he smiled from ear to ear, then he began to dance around with the fire truck in his hand. After that he put the truck on the table and broke into another dance with both thumbs up, then moving them up and down with that great big smile. All eyes were upon him and all I could say to him was, “Dawson, you’re awesome!”

Do you know what? He really was!

God Bless,

Sam B.

The Joy Of

T he twinkling lights were strung and lit, the grand tree’s boughs were fully decorated, and a Christmas spirit could be felt in sights and sounds all around the Chapel. This year’s annual Precious Moments Family Reunion had everyone “Wrapped Up With The Gift Of His Love” for four glorious days, celebrating all things Precious Moments with the fun and festivities of Christmas! I n addition to endless photo opportunities, (so many Christmas cards were surely planned!), Precious Moments creator, Mr. Sam Butcher, eagerly signed figurines for guests and they were also able to watch Master Sculptor Hiko Maeda work his artistic magic. In true Christmas Eve fashion, a pajama party with food and gifts was also held! Speaking of gifts, it wouldn’t be Christmas without presents. The gifts of friendship and fellowship were shared through hands-on creative experiences, games, music, food, and a welcome tangible remembrance – an illuminated Chapel Exclusive figurine. A very special “Thank You” to all who attended and made this extraordinary event possible. Next year will mark the 30th Anniversary of the Precious Moments Chapel and plans are in the works now for one big party at next year’s Reunion. Whether you have never missed one, or never been to one, 2019 will bring a Reunion Event to remember so keep an eye out for further details as they become available. Spirits Were Shining at the 2018 Family Reunion Christmas I n June

with Deb Butcher

Hello Friends! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, or re-introduce myself, as the case may be. I’m Deb Butcher, the fourth of artist Sam Butcher’s seven children. Precious Moments has been a part of my life since I was old enough to remember. Since I was a child I have been contributing however I could to the family business. From art design to spearheading the former Precious Moments Birthday Club, to formulating behind-the-scenes creative strategies, I continue to go wherever I am needed! I’d like to share something with you that most people don’t know about me. I have always been uncomfortable in large groups of people, but not because I don’t like people. Years ago, I was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder which makes it almost impossible for me to understand what is being said in a room full of noise. This creates high levels of anxiety when I’m among a lot of people who may want to stop and talk, because I can’t understand most of what they are saying. While public speaking and large group events are something I will never be able to do well, I absolutely love meeting and interacting with you, our Precious Moments family, on a relaxed and more personal level. So I asked how we can use MOMENTS Magazine to do just that! What would you, our readers, like to see in a new column that I will be writing? Would you like to submit questions and have them answered in each issue? Would you like to know about what is happening in the creative department, or on the Chapel grounds and Precious Moments property, or even behind-the-scenes? Would you enjoy a section where you can share and compare? Would you like to see photo submissions like when the Birthday Club newsletter featured photos of kids and pets who looked like Precious Moments? This column is YOURS and mine, so please send your ideas and we can build something fun together! Email me at MomentsWithDeb@PreciousMoments.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,

Deb Butcher

RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

As has become customary, during the 2018 Precious Moments Family Reunion Event at the Precious Moments Chapel this past June, an exciting retirement announcement was made. Hiko Maeda, Master Sculptor, physically smashed the molds used to create the figurine The Best Adventures Are SharedWith a Friend so that it may never again be produced in the same form. Retirement is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a figurine. Check with your favorite local Precious Moments retailer or online shopping site to check availability. Once they are sold out, they’re gone, so if you don’t already own this piece, get it while you can!

KOS’S KORNER Precious Moments Chief Executive Officer, Stephen “Kos” Kosmalski

Precious Moments Chief Executive Officer is answering your questions and looking toward the future! Precious Moments CEO, Steve “Kos” Kosmalski is enjoying an incredible year celebrating the momentous 40th anniversary of the brand. One of his favorite parts of his job is answering questions from collectors like you! The following are some things that collectors have been wondering.

What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning? After 45 years in consumer products, I’m delighted to work on a brand which is emotionally uplifting. Our world sometimes feels like it’s a mess, so Precious Moments messaging is needed more now than ever. Bringing a smile, a joyful tear, a laugh, and a prayer goes a long way to offset much of the cruelty around us – while reminding us of the kindness of most people and the beauty of our spirits. At the heart of this company is a family who loves this brand. Their passion is contagious, motivating me to work toward preserving family-owned businesses like Precious Moments. Should I have my Precious Moments collection insured? Like any collection, some items are more valuable than others. You may want to research and analyze your collection and insure those special pieces. Speak to your insurance agent about what types of policies they offer specifically for insuring collectibles. What are some of your favorite autumn memories? Autumn didn’t really commence with our family until it started to get cooler in October and the leaves changed to brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. Like many other families, October was all about getting set for Halloween, when my kids gathered around the table to carve a jack-o-lantern and bake the seeds afterwards. We weren’t big on purchased costumes, so there were plenty of witches, ghosts, and pirates around. I think my kids sometimes shuddered over what costumes their mom had in mind! Taking the young kids out, come rain or shine, had its rewards as I’d earn some of my favorite candy when done with trick-or-treating. Nothing like the smiles on kids’ faces when they dump their bags of candy on the table after the hard work of trick-or-treating! Many in the neighborhood left their jack-o-lanterns out after Halloween in cool weather, often reminding us that pumpkin pie was quickly approaching at Thanksgiving. What are you most thankful for There are actually two key things I’ve expressed gratitude during the last fewThanksgivings. The first

is a personal relationship with God which helps me cope with the vagaries of life and recognize its joys. The second, is for His gift of family. My wife of 45 years, Laura, and I are fortunate to have most of our siblings alive – and my 100-year-old mom! We also are blessed with an immediate family of 18. Despite being spread all over the place, we get everyone together once or twice a year. This year we took a family vacation in July for which I was very thankful.

A Collector's Story

People are drawn to Precious Moments for all kinds of reasons, some very personal. Our friend Zoey shared with us how a trip to the Precious Moments Chapel touched her heart in a very special way. Read with a box of tissues! To the Precious Moments Family, Last summer my family and I drove fromTexas and visited the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage. I was excited, but more excited for my mother who had collected figurines for years and hadn’t been to the Chapel in a long time. Little did I know my life would change that day. I firmly believe God brought me there to heal a place in my heart that had become numb. Some time ago, my mother had two miscarriages and then found out she was pregnant with twins. She was scared, but overjoyed because God’s promise was being fulfilled in a way she never thought it would be. Sadly, one day she noticed symptoms of a miscarriage and rushed to a hospital. Both babies were gone. The ultrasound screen was empty. She shook her fist at God every day, until one day He laid a scripture on her heart; Psalm 91:4. Even though she didn’t know why God had given her this specific verse, it was all she had to hold on to. A few months later after having blood work done, something was noticed by the lab and they summoned her immediately. Her team of doctors feared the worst and immediately began an ultrasound to try and detect what they thought was a tubal pregnancy. Again, she found herself laying on the table reliving the heartbreak of losing four babies. The ultrasound tech looked nervous as she watched the screen and fetched a doctor. He came in, ran the ultrasound, and in a state of shock said, “Mrs. Henderson, you had triplets. Not twins.” As her heart began to break at the loss of another child, the doctor turned the screen so that she could see a once empty womb. There were now two sacs with no babies, and a baby almost a trimester along. In that moment, a heartbeat rang in that room. A womb that was once empty, now showed the two babies that once lived and one that was hidden the entire time. My mother and grandmother (who was there with her) tell me it was as if they could audibly hear Heaven rejoicing on December 16, 1998. A little over 6 months later I was born – totally healthy and a miracle nonetheless. Years later, I found myself questioning God. Why was I the one spared? Why were my twin siblings taken away from me? Every birthday I thought about them. Every Christmas I wondered how different it would be had God allowed my mother to carry them. They had no name and no gender, yet I found myself emotionally devastated over the loss of people I’d never met. As senior year came along, my mind was preoccupied with college applications and graduating, so I shoved the hurt away.

The following summer we made our trip to Carthage. I noticed a sense of peace about the land where the Precious Moments Chapel is located. The moment I stepped in front of the “Hallelujah Square” mural in the Chapel, I began to let out emotions I forgot I had built up. In that moment, my devastation turned to joy. I rejoiced that my siblings would never know anything but the presence of God. I rejoiced that the emotions I felt staring at that mural is all they would ever feel. I rejoiced that one day my parents and myself would be able to be with them eternally. Thank you for giving such a beautiful gift to the world through your ministry at the Chapel. My heart has finally found peace. I can’t wait to go back. Zoey Henderson “He will cover you with his feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” ~ Psalm 91:4

Precious Moments’ philanthropic partner Feed the Children has the a vision to create a world where no child goes to bed hungry – both in the U.S. and around the world. You may have noticed that malnutrition in the U.S. looks different from other countries. In the U.S. an overweight child may in actuality be malnourished, only able to eat foods with empty calories. In the United States, many times, the cheapest and most accessible foods are also the least healthy. In our culture, we drive more and walk less, kids have fewer places to run and play, and in lower income areas, parents typically work multiple jobs to make ends meet. This is where Feed the Children stands in the gap. What Feed the Children Does to Help: • Food Distribution: Feed the Children trucks crisscross the country, delivering millions of pounds of food in the course of a year to people in all 50 states. • Backpack Program: Providing homeless and at-risk kids with backpacks, school supplies and hygiene essentials frees up dollars for the family to spend on food • Summer Meals: Many children rely on supplemented school breakfasts and lunches throughout the school year. During the summer, Feed the Children provides food to community partners to help meet the needs of hungry children.

Feed the Children operates through the generosity of people just like you. You can help; sign up for a monthly reoccurring gift of $32 and support Feed the Children's important work. Each gift is multiplied seven times. Or organize a backpack drive. Or through your purchase of a specially designed Precious Moments Giving Plate. We encourage you to help however you can, because no child should go hungry! We encourage you to help however you can, because no child should go hungry! Frightening Facts * : More than 23 million people in America live in food deserts. They don’t have grocery stores, so their only choices for food are convenience stores and fast food restaurants. 12.5 million (or approximately 17%) of U.S. children and adolescents age 2 to 19 are obese. On a typical school day, 80% of U.S. kids drink sugary drinks, the largest source of added sugar and a major source of calories in children’s diets.

*From the USDA and CDC

From July 15, 2018 through December 31, 2020, Precious Moments will donate 5% of the sales price of each Giving Plate to Feed the Children to help its efforts to eradicate childhood hunger and create a healthy foundation for children and families to break the cycle of poverty and hunger. © 2018 Feed the Children, Inc.

Show and Tell Recently, we asked Club Members to tell us about their collections and Jeanine H. from Algona, Iowa answered the call! She shared some stunning photos of her vast collection and told us a little about it. “For my birthday in January 1981 I was given the Jesus Loves Me girl figurine. I had no idea until December of that year that there was a boy that paired to the girl. I purchased that figurine and so many years of collecting began,” explains Jeanine.

When she and her husband built their home in 1994, it was a must that she have a curio built to showcase her collection. Today she has many curios and antique pieces throughout her home showcasing her collection. In fact, Jeanine has so many figurines that she rotates them two times per year. In October she will do the “changing of the Precious Moments,” as her husband says, and will remove all the Spring/Summer figurines and bring out the Autumn/Winter collection which includes all of her angels, Santa pieces, and the blessed Nativity. “I especially enjoy placing the figurines into small vignettes,” she notes. “Such as girls in the rain, a day in the park, girls with kittens – I try to switch them up each time I rotate.”

If you would like to share a bit about your Precious Moments, we would love to hear about it! Whether it is just a few treasured pieces or curios filled like Jeanine's, we know that each person keeps Precious Moments in their own special way. You can send high-resolution photos to Club@PreciousMoments.com or mail to Club at 4105 Chapel Road, Carthage, MO 64836 and we may feature your Precious Moments in a future issue of MOMENTS Magazine!
