GLOUCESTER 2016 INAUGURATION

Gloucester Inauguration 2016 © Kim Smith 2016Gloucester welcomed in the new year with an exuberantly positive 2016 inauguration. City Hall was packed and the crowd was jubilant!Gloucester Inauguration 2016 Sefatia Rosaria ©Kim Smith 2016

A musical prelude was provided by the GHS Docksiders, followed by a moving rendition of “God Bless America” sung by Gordon Baird. The Presentation of Colors was given by the Gloucester High School ROTC. Mayor Sefatia’s grandchildren AJ, Bianca, and Emma, and niece Lia, led the Pledge of Allegiance and Alexandra Grace sang the national anthem. The Reverend Rona Tyndall and Father James Achadinha gave the invocation. Guest speaker Peter Anastas presented an inspiring speech. A glitch in the ceremonies arose when it was discovered there wasn’t a Bible in the house. Instead, a Bible app was used in its place!

Rocky Neck Plunge 2016

Posted on by God's Morning

rocky neck plunge 2016

Nice day for watching and photographing the plunge.  Good turnout of watchers and plungers.  Very Poor GMG turnout.  I guess we’ve all just gotten too old and soft, except Donna and her crew of course.  Marty and Barbara were also there watching and photographing.  Happy New Year everyone!

I watched the final sunset of 2015 from way up high last night. I took a moment to reflect on the year newly behind us and about what this year may bring.  Some things are certain….many things are still unknown.  That is both incredibly exciting and scary.

I hope that this very 1st day of 2016 starts your year off right.
