Despite the rain, construction on the TMC campus has continued to thrive. The sound of hammers and the beating of nails have become the norm as the first two floors of the new dorms have taken shape. Students, faculty, and staff, all gathered Tuesday afternoon for a prayer dedication – dedicating the structure and asking the Lord do bless the students who will be making their home in Fall of 2011. Attendees were given the opportunity to write a word of encouragement along with a verse on pieces of the plywood, to be placed on the third floor lobby. From the very foundation, this building, as well as all the projects around campus, has been bathed with prayer. “Lord, may Your hand be on every board, every nail, every resident, and every student, that comes into Truett-McConnell College; From the very first verse to the very last tribe.”
