Wilmington Yearly Meeting 2026
Yearly Meeting will be held in Wilmington, Ohio, this year from July 23 (Thursday evening) through July 26 (Sunday morning). Below the registration form (scroll down — the green box that says “next” is part of the registration form — or use the link) is the TENTATIVE schedule.
Fees: The Program Planning Committee has decided to continue the “Pay as Led” model previously adopted for the Seasonal Gatherings. A donation of $20 per person is encouraged to help cover the costs of printing Yearly Meeting resources, including Minute Books, Advance Reports, and Memorial booklets. Donations can be made via check or cash, either in advance or at Yearly Meeting, or through our PayPal account.
Meals are separate from the registration. Saturday’s lunch is provided on a by-donation fundraiser for Youth & Young Adult. The USFW meal on Friday night is also by-donation!
Ready to register? Call or email the Yearly Meeting office: office@wilmingtonyearlymeeting.org or (937) 481-2491. OR register online here!
