October 1, 2018 Larry Thomas Steward Board Member Reeves Temple C,M.E. Church lmmediately following service on Sunday, November 26, 201, I was asked by Reverend Williams to show him and other ministers the process of counting and depositing monies received during collections at Reeves. The Pastor told me that things were going to be done differently. The following Sunday when it was time fo.tithes and offering, I was told by the Pastor to sit down because the ministers present would pick up the money and they did. Later the ministers were present in the finance office while the Stewards counted the money but did not participate in the process. I was surprised by the Pastor's actions and could not understand why he felt we were not trusted to do ourjob as Stewards in the church. +/z:
To: Judicial Council From: Clyde Lawrence - Steward Board Chairman Re: Charges against Reverend Dr. H. Leon williams Date: October 15, 2018 At the end of service on December 70,2077 , as I approached the alter to gather the collection trays with the money to be counted by the Stewards; I noticed Reverend Williams racing ahead of me to get it. After he picked it up I asked him if he was handling the money now, he said "yes" and carried it to his office. lfollowed him into his office and asked if I could talk to him about what he was doing, he said "no" he didn't want to talk about it. I then told him that what he's doing is wron& and it's the Steward's duty to handle and count the money; he told me that I wasn't a "Steward"; I asked him what is he talking about? He stated that "you have not been confirmed so you are not a Steward". (Reverend Williams uses this response whenever he feels it's convenient for him to dismiss or not respond to any Officer of the Church that questions his actions or inquires about matters of Church. We are considered Officers if we are doing something that benefits him.) cfu I told him that we as Officers of the Church have been performing our duties in the official capacities since 2015, and until there is another Quarterly Conference to confirm Officers, we are still actively doing our jobs. He later sent the money into the finance office by Reverend Rose Mingo to be counted by the Stewards.
