OCBC celebrated the 21-year pastorate of the Rev. Irv Cummings with a bagpiper-lead procession to the church from Harvard Square, a special worship service, and a reception.
On March 20, 2011, OCBC celebrated in a worship service and reception the reunification of a congregant with three of his children, whom he had not seen since he fled political persecution in Cameroon over seven years ago. Their relocation and resettlement was partially funded by the generosity of the OCBC congregation and of the American Baptist Home Mission Society’s (ABHMS) Office of Immigration and Refugee Services.
