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. RSVP to Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355). 
Please bring your own chair.

Tapping into Theology began in January 2013 in response to the Holy Father’s call to spread the Gospel during “The Year of Faith," -- in this case, outside the walls of church. The informal gatherings, open to the public, are once a month at the local brew pub in Woodmoor, Pikes Peak Brewing Company (1756 Lake Woodmoor Dr., Monument, CO 80132). We gather on the second Tuesday of the month from 7-9pm, unless otherwise noted.
Every month there is a different speaker. We have had bishops, priests, deacons, laity from throughout the diocese, and parishioners presenting on various theology-related topics. We hope that the presentations help all who attend or listen to the recordings become more engaged in their faith and lead to a deeper relationship with God.
There is no homework, but sometimes there are handouts or suggested reading. Attendance averages 60-80 people each month.
