Friends, or Quakers, have traditionally referred to the days of the week by number. Thus, Sunday was "First Day." While most of this custom has fallen away, Sunday School is still called First Day School. Ours begins at 9:15 am on designated Sundays.

Looking back -- Eight Years Ago
December 2016
Woodstown Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends supports the sovereign government and people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe as they wage a nonviolent, legal battle against those who would endanger their heritage and their future natural resources.
The Dakota Access pipeline endangers culturally significant land and puts the Missouri River in danger of pollution. As we are called to be good stewards of the Earth, we support the voices and actions of the Standing Rock Sioux and the more than 150 Tribal Nations at Sacred Stones Camp in North Dakota and others who have joined them in peaceful protest and protection of the water of the Missouri River.
We join the Standing Rock Tribe and its allies in seeking full tribal consultation on a government-to-government basis, as is legally required by treaty and law. We stand in solidarity with New York Yearly Meeting, Dallas Friends Meeting, Miami Monthly Meeting, Quaker Earthcare Witness and the many others who oppose the pipeline project and the violence toward peaceful protestors by security forces.
UPDATE: After months of protests, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and other Dakota Access pipeline activists received a major win as the United States Army Corps of Engineers effectively halted construction of the pipeline at Standing Rock.
