Shared UU Values

by Kate Gillis

"I was having difficulty remembering the seven values so I made up a song to make them more memorable. Now I would like to share my song to help other UUs become more comfortable with the words."

This memorable tune can be used in worship, religious education, and more!

The JETPIG Song

by Soren Austenfeld and Sara Krakauer

This fun and accessible take on the new values expresses the spirit of the values in a new way. It also includes original hand movements that can be found in the video above.

"We taught the song to our congregation during worship a few weeks ago, and several adults shared with us afterward that they found the concise and plain language of the song helpful in their own understanding of the new values/framework."

Chorus

What makes you a true UU? Love at the core of what you do!

We commit to work as a team to make our values more than a dream.

JETPIG helps us keep in mind six values that UU's have defined.

Verse 1

Justice means we make things fair. We vote, speak up, and act with care.

Equity is when every one gets what they need for work and fun.

Transformation means we change, and we can still grow at every age.

Verse 2

Pluralism is how we say we know there's not just one right way.

Interdependence means we're connected so our Earth and its people are respected.

Generosity is the last: we can learn to share before we're asked.
