Adult Education

Eastminster Presbyterian Church
Is Proud To Sponsor a Seminar Series Entitled
“Winning at a Losing Game”

Focus

This seminar series is designed for ALL adults who would like to maintain and enhance their mental health, improve their parenting skills, and/or enrich their marital relationships. All adults are playing ‘losing’ games in some area(s) of their lives; this seminar series will help them to identify those ‘losing’ games and provide encouragement and techniques for changing ‘losing’ games into winning ones. In tennis or card games, losing games are easy to identify. However, in life, ‘losing’ games can go undetected for many years, resulting in many damaged relationships and ending in a crisis that can be hard to repair.

Class Format

The series will consist of four classes held once a week on Sunday mornings. Each participant will complete a temperament survey, which will help to identify ‘losing’ games, be encouraged to read “Winning at a Losing Game,” participate in the weekly meetings, and complete other homework assignments dependent on their personal interests and current needs.

Class Dates and Location of Clases

Classes begin on Sunday, July 8th, 2007, and will be held weekly from 9:45 am to 10:45 am. Sunday school classes will be held for all children and teens at that time so adults can attend the series while their youngsters are in classes. The series will be held at Eastminster Presbyterian Church located at 8180 Telephone Road, Ventura, CA, 93003, (805) 647-3757, www.epcventura.org.

Class Leader

Tom Prinz, M.S., a Marriage and Family Therapist in Ventura for the past 25 year, will be conducting the series. Tom has published four books: Dragon Slaying for Parents; Dragon Slaying for Couples; The Lost Aspect of Love; and his most recent book, Winning at a Losing Game. Tom and his wife Pam have been members of Eastminster Presbyterian Church for the past 12 years where they have been volunteer youth leaders with the high school students, accompanying them on many short-term mission trips. They are the proud parents of three young adults: Robyn, Matt, and Chrissy.

Comments from Those Who Have Attended Previous Seminars

A light will turn on that will make your life a lot happier.

Today was like a counseling session, without the uneasy feeling that comes with going to one.

I thought this was a great seminar; it made me think about my life and made me feel good, helped me realize that it’s okay to take care of myself.

This is a live self-help book and it’s very interesting to learn things that you wish you knew before.

This was a great seminar. Never a dull moment!
