The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool that helps us learn more about ourselves so that we might learn more about how we are in a relationship with God and with the people most important to us. We invite you to participate in the journey! Beginner classes are offered regularly, and we offer continuing opportunities for learning to a growing community of graduates.

For Newcomers:

The Enneagram Journey

Next Class: Wednesdays, February 9 - April 27
1:00-2:30 p.m. in the Theater
Led by Rev. Mary Lessmann and Mary Ann Webster
$30 for class workbook (scholarships available)
Registration open now! Email Mary Lessmann

The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool that helps us to discover the characteristics and motivations of our personality – one of nine types. More than this, the Enneagram helps guide us in the spiritual work that is ours to do. Mary Ann Webster and Rev. Mary Lessmann facilitate this class which utilizes the DVD curriculum of Suzanne Stabile, an internationally recognized Enneagram master and a very entertaining presenter. Registration is required. There is a $30 fee for the class workbook; scholarships are available. Contact Mary Lessmann for more information.

Once You Have Taken The Enneagram Journey

Intensives

Saint Michael and All Angels began offering The Enneagram Journey, a 12-week DVD based curriculum, during the fall of 2016. Since that time, over 250 folks have taken the class. With that many Enneagram graduates among our parishioners, we’ve long wanted to offer some deeper classes to encourage continuing work. The sequestering that has been part of our safety response to the pandemic has provided a silver lining in the form of the opportunity to write these classes!

In the fall of 2020, SMAA introduced Enneagram Intensives. Enneagram Intensives are short classes on specific topics that will assist and encourage you in ongoing Enneagram work. Topics currently being developed are: Enneagram and Spiritual Practices, Triads and Spiritual Growth, Enneagram and Parenting, and Enneagram and Relationships. These short-term classes will be offered with some regularity, so you can choose the days and times that best fit your schedule. Class size will be limited to provide a more individualized experience and to facilitate deeper group discussions. Classes will be led by Rev. Mary Lessmann. Initially, we’re planning for virtual classes, but might be able to pivot to physical classes if our current situation changes. Registration is required.

Enneagram @ Work

Wednesdays, November 3-17
7-8 p.m. in the Theater
Led by Rev. Mary Lessmann

Many of us spend as many hours each week in our work setting as we do with our loved ones or pursuing personal interests. If work, or service, is the arena in which we spend so much of our lives, we are called to reflect on how we are – or are not - ‘loving God and neighbor’ in this setting. Whether in a corporate environment or in community service, how are our interactions with others bringing out the best in them, in ourselves and in the organization? In Enneagram @ Work we will explore these questions and discuss how each Enneagram number tends to ‘show up’ for work, the synergies and challenges they have with other numbers, and what they desire from their vocation.

This 3-week class, led by The Rev. Mary Lessmann, will be held on Wednesday evenings, November 3, 10, and 17 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Theater. Having completed The Enneagram Journey is a prerequisite for this class. To register, please contact Mary at [email protected].

Enneagram Encore... The Continuing Journey

Every 3rd Monday or Tuesday of the Month (Except Holidays) via Zoom
Mondays from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Tuesdays from 1 - 2:30 p.m.
Led by Mary Ann Webster

The 250+ graduates of the 12-week course on the Enneagram will now have the opportunity to come together to share their experiences of living into their unique way of being in the world with one another. These gatherings which will be offered monthly both in the daytime and evenings throughout the year. We will build on the knowledge gained discussing in greater depth what it means to be in the heart, head, or gut triad to how we are progressing in dealing with the numbers we go to for security or in stress and so many other facets of using enneagram knowledge to grow more into the person God created us to be. Let’s come back together to continue the journey!

Adult Formation Staff

Erin Osborne
Coordinator of Small Groups
Dr. Tim Smith
Director of Formation

Erin Osborne

Coordinator of Small Groups

Erin Osborne joined the Saint Micahel staff as Coordinator of Small Groups in April of 2022. She has been a member of Saint Michael and All Angels since 1990.

Erin grew up in the windy Panhandle town of Pampa, Texas, a “cradle Episcopalian,” where she was an acolyte, led VBS, and never missed a Pancake Supper. She attended Southern Methodist University, receiving first her BA, then MA in clinical and counseling psychology, focusing on family systems. She then completed her MTS in Biblical Studies at Perkins School of Theology.

Erin spent her twenties and thirties working with children and their families as a school counselor and learning specialist. With the birth of her youngest, she focused her energy on raising her children and immersing herself in seminary training.

Erin has initiated and facilitated small group discipleship for years. She teaches a women’s Bible study out of her home, leads prayer meetings, teaches Sunday school, and stays active with multiple missional advocacy and outreach programs in the metroplex.

For Erin, spiritual formation is like a team sport. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17) We are created to live in relationship with one another, and we all need a safe place to feel belonging, be curious, playful, contemplative, even fearful and regretful. Small groups are integral to our formation in Christ and our love for our neighbor. They gift us accountability, both calming and disturbing our waters. Small groups are where we learn to be the church, not go to church.

Erin is the lucky wife of Vic Schmerbeck and the proud mother of five children aged twelve to twenty-two.

Dr. Tim Smith

Director of Formation

Dr. Timothy M. Smith joined the Saint Michael staff as Director of Formation in July of 2021.

Tim grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of a United Methodist Pastor. A graduate of Tulane University and Perkins School of Theology at SMU, he also received his doctorate in Church Growth and Renewal from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA.

Tim served in a variety of United Methodist churches throughout the New Orleans area for 28 years. He returned to Dallas in 2018 due to his wife’s work. Tim served for three years on staff at a large church in Arlington with responsibilities including Evangelism, Hospitality, Assimilation, Finance and Generosity, Adult Discipleship as well as Safety and Security. With three decades of experience in ministry, he is also a certified Church Growth consultant and a Navigator for Church Unique, which facilitates revisioning for the local church. Tim’s spiritual gifts include leadership and teaching, and his strengths include visioning, strategic planning and discernment. His passion is adult discipleship and spiritual transformation and empowering the church to reach new people for Jesus Christ.

Tim is a dynamic, inspirational leader and speaker who loves teaching the Bible and equipping people to apply it in their lives. As a lifelong learner, Tim is an avid student of leadership, church growth, and Integrated Contextual Exegesis, which seeks to understand the original context of Scripture and how it shapes our understanding of a passage and its application in our lives.

Tim is married to Giovanna (or Gio), who is the Director of Sales for WFAA-TV, Channel 8. They have two children, Luke and Mattie. Luke is continuing his schooling here in Dallas and Mattie is a Senior at OU. Tim and Giovanna have a cat and a Maltipoo dog as well as two granddogs. When Gio lets Tim out of the house, he is also an avid golfer. Both Gio and Tim love discovering new restaurants and exploring the many cultural events Dallas and the metroplex has to offer. They are both avid Saints and LSU football fans. Who Dat!
