Eben Ezer Parsonage Wish List

Eben Ezer Lutheran Church serves the Oaks Indian Mission and the wider Oaks community.  The church parsonage is in need of repair before Eben Ezer will be able to issue a call to a pastor.  Bids to repair the parsonage have ranged from $18,000 to $34,000.  The congregation is a principal part of the Missions’ life and has a renewed sense of ministry in the community.  Unfortunately, its resources are limited.  With this in mind, the following is a ‘wish list’ that Eben Ezer needs to complete this necessary task (based on the $34,000 estimate).  Skilled labor to complete these tasks and/or monetary donations toward these repairs are greatly needed and would be appreciated:
