Olive Wood & Jewelry

Please Don’t Just Leave $

Part of St. Stephen’s being able to offer so many great and helpful products relies on our faithful money counters. But to know whom your purchases should pay, they need to know what you bought. Please use a fluorescent green sheet to  record what you buy!
