December 10 Tapping into Theology 7pm Join us at the Pikes Peak Brewing Company for "The Star of Bethlehem: The Science that Confirms the Story" presented by Mike White. Within the past decade, computer programs have been developed which can recreate the astronomical positioning of stars, planets and constellations with pinpoint scientific accuracy from any location on earth – and across thousands of years of history. This science has revealed an amazing answer to questions previously wrapped in myth and mystery: Where did the Magi come from? How did they know where to go? Was there really an actual star? What was the exact day that Jesus was born? What did they see that was never seen before – and has never been seen since? The Star of Bethlehem presentation allows you to see with your own eyes what the Magi saw. Come hear how science unveils the mystery of the Bethlehem Star and the life of The Messiah proclaimed in the heavens. Please RSVP to Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355).

St. Peter Parish Rosary Program We hear a great deal about spiritual warfare these days. We are not talking about the dramatic Hollywood and Revival Tent depictions of extraordinary demonic attacks. After all, as Fr. Mike Driscoll tells us in ‘Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment: Separating Fact from Fiction About the Spirit World’, Satan rarely attacks as a materialized terrifying dragon, but he more often works covertly as a little whispering voice. The spiritual war we are referring to is that which Satan wages against God; the war in which we humans are the target. It is our souls that the devil is after. To get this booty he assails us, our fellow man, the Church, and our nation, all of which are in great turmoil today. Like Job, every aspect of our person and our world seems to be afflicted with endless disasters. So then who is Satan, what is the extent of his power, how does he work his dastardly deeds, and what can we do to thwart his evil and defend against him? To be continued. ~ Catholic Answers Pray the Rosary Daily! -“In war, the first casualty is truth”, Terry Hayes, author. Rosary Program Update St. Peter Parish Rosary Program tally through November 15, 2019: 50,459.
