June 2009 Reunion Event "To God Be The Glory"

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Precious Moments Chapel, a Reunion Event will be held at Precious Moments Park, Cathage, MO, on the 18th of June to the 21th of June. I am so glad that the event figurine depicts an angel with the good old "pancake halo" and wings. It will surely be on my "Most Wanted" list.

"We are proud to announce the 2009 Family Reunion at the Chapel celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Chapel. Come be a part of the re-dedication the Chapel to the Lord on the exact day that it was originally dedicated 20 years ago on June 18th, 1989."

20 Years of Blessing You, 20th Anniversary Chapel Event Exclusive.
Limited to 1000 pieces.

Precious Moments Events

We have always wanted to visit the Precious Moments Park located in Carthage, Missouri. It is right in the middle of U.S.A, in the part of the country known as The Ozarks. Another place that we look forward to go, will be the Sampaguita Gardens. Mr Sam Butcher, himself, is currently based there. While we are trying to find time and funds to travel, we enjoy going to signing events organise by Precious Thots.

The first signing event was held in 1999 and Sam Butcher was here but we missed that event as we were still not collectors. Our very first signing event was in year 2000 with Eugene Freedman. Over these years, we have met Eugene a few times. Master Sculptor Yasuhei Fujioka was here once and we were so excited meeting him. We never thought that we would be able to see Fujiokia as he has retired and was already 80 years old then. Sam Butcher was here again in 2006 and we were so happy that we were able to meet him after all these years. We were told by Precious Thots staff that this will be his last signing event in Singapore. We were one of the fortunate few that managed to pose a picture with him as no photo requests would be entertained.

Together with Eugene during one of his signing events in Singapore. He is always so happy and charming, even when he shaved his signature mustache!


We were very fortunate to have a chance to meet Fujioka in person.

We were surprised that Sam requested to have a photo taken with us. "This is the Day Which the Lord Hath Made" must have reminded him of some fond memories.

Egg - 2000
From Sam Butcher, "I have chosen the egg because it symbolizes the new millennium and a new beginning. Just as we know little of what the twenty- first century will bring, no one knows what is taking place inside an egg. Nor will they completely understand until it is hatched and God's wonderful plan is revealed. The egg speaks of birth, of new things to come- things known only to God, alone.

Sandal - 2001
The sandal represents our journey with the Lord

Cross in Heart - 2002
Keeping faith in his heart, Sam chose a cross surrounded by a heart to symbolize faith. It is representative of the importance of faith now and in the next century

The crown represents glory, dignity and sovereignty. This is what Sam Butcher feels Precious Moments is all about.

Special Production Marks

Unmarked- Most of the Chapel Exclusives were Unmarked in their first year of release and some were Unmarked throughout their production years. Some figurines produced after 1981, by error, do not have production mark.

Diamond- Appeared on #10334 "We Belong To The Lord"

Rosebud- Appeared on 525049 "Good Friends Are Forever"

Flag- 1991 Edition of "Bless Those Who Serve Their Country"

Flag with Star- 1992 Edition of "Bless Those Who Serve Their Country"

4 Star Flag- "America Forever" Series

I used to be very particular about these, always wanting to collect figurines with their very first production mark. However, over all these years, I found that it is not worth the effort, time and money looking for "first mark" (figurines with their "first mark" tend to be more expensive, esp true for the Original 21). Figurines with different markings do not actually differ much in terms of quality or values, except for the Original 21(O21). O21 figurines with No Mark can easily go up to hundred over dollars in the secondary market. "God Loveth a Cheerful Giver", one of the very first O21 to be retired, can easily fetch over $500 in the secondary market. So, do be prepared if you are into O21.
