In an austere ceremony with no refreshments afterward, Scott Avedisian will be sworn in at 7 p.m. for a sixth term as mayor of Warwick.

The ceremony will be held in Council Chambers, 3275 Post Rd.

The choir of the Buttonwoods Beach Chapel, a community-owned non-denominational church, will perform selections including "America the Beautiful" and the Pawtuxet Rangers, a Colonial militia group, will march with the Police and Fire departments' color guards.

As been his custom since he was first elected, Avedisian will be sworn in by his cousin, Family Court Judge Haiganush Bedrosian. And when he takes the oath of office, his hand will be on the thick leather-bound Bible that has been in his family for years.

Avedisian will then swear in the City Council and the School Committee.

The Lincoln Town Council will also be sworn in tonight with a ceremony at the Lincoln High School Auditorium at 7 p.m.
