(730)

Butcher’s life’s work and crowning achievement. 84 magnificent, hand painted murals covering 9,000 square feet adorn the walls and ceiling. His innocent, child-like characters depict beloved Bible stories and God’s promises of love and hope. The centerpiece of these is the large mural, “Hallelujah Square,” in which Mr. Butcher portrays Heaven as a place of reunion and new joy. 30 intricate stained glass windows grace the Chapel, featuring hundreds of rich, jewel-tone colors. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident in every detail, including the elaborate design of the ironwork gates, hand-carved entry doors, and bronze work. The fulfillment of an artist’s dream, Precious Moments Chapel is truly an artistic masterpiece with a beautiful message of love, hope & inspiration. FREE ADMISSION

We’re excited to reveal that “Love Lifted Me”, our 2026 Family Reunion Event figurine, is also the fifth and final piece in the 2026 Precious Moments Collectors Club® series inspired by beloved figurines from the Original 21 collection. Based on the cherished 1978 “Love Lifted Me” figurine, this special keepsake honors one of Precious Moments’ most beloved designs while bringing it to life in a new way.

This figurine is available exclusively through the 2026 Precious Moments Family Reunion Event or our “Event in a Box,” and cannot be purchased separately.

✨ Late Registration has begun! As a special gift to our Precious Moments family, we’re waiving the late registration fee, so you can still register at the regular event price through July 10.
