Lesson: A New Name, A New Vision - The Power of a Word
Speaker: Rev. Kevin Hudalla
Meditation: Karen Onny, LUT
Music: Tristana Ward, Lori Dokken & The Unity Band
The White Stone Service is inspired by Revelation 2:17: “Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.”
In ancient times, a prisoner was given a white stone upon release—symbolizing freedom and a new identity. In that same spirit, the White Stone Service invites us to release the past and claim our Divine identity — the “new name” written on the white stone. In this new beginning, we open to “the more” of who we are becoming in God’s school of life.
During the meditation, you’ll be invited to hold a white stone (or a stone of your choice), allowing Spirit within to reveal the word, intention, or new spiritual name that is ready to emerge for you in the coming year. You will write this on your stone and keep it as a reminder throughout the year ahead.
