SJM Film Screening + Discussion
May 22 at 7:00 pm in the Chapel
SJM invites you to view and discuss “There Went the Neighborhood,” a 40-minute documentary film, about the closing of the majority-Black Jones School (which now houses Community High School) in 1965 and the gutting of the surrounding Black neighborhood through various school integration and urban “renewal” efforts. SJM’s first event series, “Black & White in Ann Arbor” (2018-19), included presentations by women who experienced these events as neighborhood children. This film is part of the Ann Arbor District Library’s observation of the city’s bicentennial.

Hymn 529: In Christ, there is no East or West
This morning we hear the great story of Philip and the Ethiopian official, so we sing this hymn of unity across divisions. For a long time I thought that this must be a Civil War hymn, with its emphasis on unity across geographic boundaries, its Victorian optimism, and the sprightly African-American tune. But in fact, the text was written in England in the early 20th century. The melody was adapted from an African-American song, which may have derived from an Irish tune. Think of all the rich traditions combining to give us this hymn: they are all “kin to me.” - Donna Wessel Walker
Be Thou My Vision (arr. Robert Hunter)
This eighth century hymn text from Ireland, with its expression of a yearning for the presence and leading of God in our lives, was first translated into English in 1905 by Mary Byrne in Dublin. Several years later, Eleanor Hull, a writer of English history, penned the prose into verse form and included in it The Poem Book of the Gael. The melody to which it is set is the traditional tune “Slane.” - Dennis Powers
