Family-Friendly • Spiritually Inclusive • All Are Welcome!
Unity of the Midlands is honored to announce that Internationally acclaimed singer Niki Haris — beloved for her legendary performances as a longtime backing vocalist for Madonna, and known for her soulful, uplifting presence — will be the featured guest singer during the church’s annual White Stone Ceremony on Sunday, January 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
This inspiring New Year service is open to the public, with no tickets required. All are warmly welcomed to attend.
A Sacred New Year Ritual for a New Beginning:
The White Stone Ceremony is one of Unity’s most cherished practices worldwide. Rooted in ancient symbolism, participants are invited to receive or envision an intention for the new year — a word or phrase that represents personal freedom, spiritual identity, and the next step in one’s spiritual growth journey. Each person receives a small white stone, symbolizing a clean slate and the power to choose who they are becoming. (Rev 2:17)
For first-time attendees, the experience is simple, meaningful, and deeply personal. No prior knowledge or church membership is required.
A Powerful Musical Experience with Niki Haris:
Niki Haris brings an extraordinary emotional and spiritual resonance to every stage she graces. Her voice has carried through iconic world tours, award-winning albums, and global performances across pop, jazz, gospel, and inspirational music.
“We are thrilled to welcome Niki Haris to Unity of the Midlands,” said Rev. Dan Beckett, Senior Minister. “Her spirit, her voice, and her message of love and upliftment embody everything this ceremony is about — stepping into a new year with clarity, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose.”
Unity of the Midlands embraces individuals of every background, faith path, and spiritual experience. This event is an opportunity for:
Community members seeking inspiration
Families looking for a warm, welcoming spiritual home
Individuals beginning a new chapter in life
Anyone longing for meaningful ritual and soulful music
**No registration or tickets are required; attendees are encouraged to arrive early for seating.
