Lake Erie Yearly Meeting seeks to promote events that reflect our values and that members will find interesting, useful and/or enriching and inspiring. We host our own online events (see calendar below) and are quite open to co-hosting or helping to promote events organized by Monthly Meetings wishing to share their event beyond their own members.
If you have an event you’d like to have co-hosted or just listed in the LEYM events calendar, please check that your proposed date doesn’t conflict with events already scheduled, and then share your event details using the button below.
Struggling to find the right meeting date for everyone on your committee? Looking for quick feedback on an idea or possible decision your team is contemplating? Consider using LEYM’s free no-registration required Framadate tool which is similar to a Doodle Poll. You can use it to suggest possible dates for a meeting or to gather input on participant preferences prior to making a decision. Quite helpful!

This is an opportunity for current Meeting clerks or co-clerks and convenors of Worship Groups to share concerns with each other and with LEYM Ministry and Nurture Committee.

Reparative Justi…
Reparative Justice and the People Enslaved by Quakers January 27, 20267:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Please join Ann Arbor Friends, hosting a session about one of the reparative justice commitments made by our Meeting: providing support for African American student interns to participate in the research. The 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project grew out of a Quaker’s leading to honor the lives of those who had been enslaved by Quakers. We have an opportunity to learn about how that seed is growing into a major reparative genealogy endeavor. Avis Wanda McClinton and Dennis Gregg will share that story and invite us to explore its reparative power, its legacy for American history, and its meaning for Quakers today. JOIN Ann Arbor Friends on Zoom (https://tinyurl.com/AAFM-Zoom) January 27, 2026, 7-8:30 pm EST.

Ministry and Nurture Clerks Chat January 29, 20267:00 pm - 8:00 pm
LEYM Ministry & Nurture Committee is offering periodic meetings of Monthly Meeting Ministry & Nurture committee clerks in order to allow M&N clerks to discuss concerns and share ideas and experiences for strengthening the spiritual condition of their Meetings. LEYM M&N has conducted similar “Clerks’ Chats” for Monthly Meeting Clerks and these have been very popular and helpful.
