In 1982 God gave Bernice the vision, the desire, and the ability to put together a day for women of all ages, providing help and encouragement in the area of motherhood. Bernice, an extremely busy wife and mother, taught elementary education for 7 years. Her master's degree was useful, not only for then, but for raising seven sons and for putting together Christian Mothering Day, Autumn Alive, Winter Uplift, and organizing Thumb Christian Outreach Ministries. Bernice is married to Tom Shupe, a recently retired dairy and crop farmer.
Patty, wife of Steve, mother and grandmother. Patty handles event registration, but perhaps her greatest gift is hospitality, as many of the speakers who have been her guest will verify.

Annette Leone
This outreach is interdenominational, the present board members worshiping at various churches within and near Huron County, Michigan.
It is a joy to serve as a Board member for TCOM. Each event is bathed in prayer and is directed by the Holy Spirit. It is our privilege as board members to see how God orchestrates each detail and to watch as He personally ministers to each person who attends.
Annette has lived in Caseville since Spring of 2010 with her husband, Anthony. She is thankful to work alongside God's people to further the gospel, especially in Michigan's countryside, and with Thumb Christian Outreach Ministries.
Linda Keefer
Linda, wife of Burt Keefer, was assistant Agri-Science teacher at Laker high School for 23 years, retiring in 2010. She serves on the Christian Parenting Day Committee and is honored to join TCOM's Board, desiring to be the hands, feet and heart of Jesus to others.
