ALMEDA MALL

Merry Christmas from Almeda Mall

December 2013

Republican for State Representative District 129 Almeda Mall is proud to serve the Southeast Houston community and Primary Election Day March 4, 2014 help all our neighbors celebrate the Christmas season. In this time of www.chuckmaricle.com peace and joy, we feel it is appropriate to remove the Happy Holiday Paid for by Chuck Maricle Campaign, Kevin Michaels, Treasurer PO Box 751994 Houston, Tx 77275 decorations and replace them with decorations celebrating the birth of Christ. We will have visiting church choirs singing Christmas Carols, banners throughout the Mall depicting Christmas scenes and will be giving away manger sets to several lucky shoppers.

It is our hope that the Almeda community, diverse as it is in its religious Cokesbury United beliefs and ethnicity will all enjoy the season with us at Almeda Mall as Methodist Church the birth of Christ is remembered. Our electronic reader board will contain daily Christmas messages and on Christmas Day will be dedicated to continuously proclaiming thanks to God for the gift of the Christ Child, so many years ago in Bethlehem.

We wish you all a blessed, safe and Merry Christmas!
