<h2 dir="ltr">Unity of the Midlands Welcomes Renowned Vocalist Niki Haris for Their Annual White Stone Ceremony – January 4, 2026</h2>
Columbia, SC — December 4, 2025 — 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.
<h3 dir="ltr">A Sacred New Year Ritual for a New Beginning</h3>
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.
<h3 dir="ltr">A Powerful Musical Experience with Niki Haris</h3>

“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.”
