HILTON HEAD ISLAND — The church
on Hilton Head Island acquired an adjacent
lot in August, after just having met a chal-
lenge grant not long before to construct a
new meeting house. The church attributes
this new boon to God’s help which enabled
some quick negotiations and demonstration
of a strong financial base. The new, slightly
larger lot was obtained at a lower price than
the one already owned. The acquisition
serves two purposes: prevention from being
hemmed in and, when needed, property on
which to meet further educational needs.
