Under the leadership of Major Colleen Michaud, corps officer, Chicago Midwest Corps, USA Central Territory, more than 100 women in the Bermuda division met for a weekend of fun, fellowship and spiritual growth. In keeping with Bermuda's 400th anniversary, the theme “These are the Days of our Lives—Past, Present and Future” set the tone for the event.

After a time of looking into Bermuda's past, Major Michaud brought the focus to John 4. She encouraged the women to set down the things in their own lives that hinder them, just as the woman at the well set down her water pot. During the Saturday sessions, opportunities were presented to enhance the present, with computer instruction, encouragement for caregivers and a seminar on prayer.

On Sunday morning, the women looked forward to the future. The younger women expressed their desire for a closer connection with senior women, finding support from their wisdom as they take on leadership positions and raise their own children. Many renewed their commitment to God and affirmed their dedication to a life of prayer and meditation on his Word.

Delegates left the conference renewed in spirit and willing to leave behind their water pots, using them instead as stepping stones toward the future.
