Once the audience of approximately 800 people was seated in the theater at 7 p.m., music instructor Mark Jenkins began the ceremony by leading the first performance of his Dedication Anthem and Fanfare, composed for the occasion. Mr. Turgeon and college president Stephen Flurry both briefly addressed the members, and Mrs. Paula Malone, backed by the dedication choir, sang House of Prayer with her husband, music department head Mr. Ryan Malone, leading the orchestra. Finally, Chancellor Gerald Flurry stepped up to the podium to deliver a short address and give the prayer of dedication. He spoke to those assembled about the purpose of the auditorium and said that this house for God would serve to bring harmony to the world.

Afterward, the choir and orchestra performed two pieces from Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah, “Holy, Holy” and “And Then Shall Your Light,” to conclude the ceremony. Choir members and audience members alike were astonished by the difference between the dedication performances and earlier performances and practices. Senior Jordan Aldrich commented, “I think the choir sang more powerfully than we ever have before.” His sentiment was echoed by many other choir members, including freshman James Brandon, who said it was “overwhelming” and “incredibly inspiring” to be part of the choir.”

After the ceremony, the brethren were abuzz with fellowship and excitement about the house for God and the new stage of the work it signified. Sophomore Katherine Harmon was representative of the general mood when she said, “Probably the thing that affected me the most was when Mr. Flurry gave his dedication prayer...the fact that something like that is something that I could hear personally
