You know www.Rotation.org has a rich archive of creative Advent and Epiphany lessons and ideas, but have you seen our RAFT of stimulating articles about Sunday School ? That "raft" now includes the new "Thanks Dopamine" article! 
For Epiphany, we want to call your attention to two inspirational Isaiah 40 videos that can help your groups prepare for challenges ahead in the new year.
And we are about 7 days away from releasing the latest amazing lesson set from our Writing Team: Micah 6:8, "Do Justice, Love Kindness, and Walk Humbly with Your God." Watch for that announcement coming soon.
Here are the details!

"Thank Dopamine!"
The important role of novelty, surprise, joy, and reward
in learning and memory formation
-- and its implications for Sunday School
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter in our brains that improves attention and memory -- and its release can be triggered by the way we teach! Everyone can view a substantial excerpt of this article. The full article with many lesson examples is part of our Supporting Member Resources.
Two Isaiah 40 Videos for "Preparing the Way" and the "Hills and Valleys" Ahead in the New Year
We've have posted two inspirational videos about Isaiah and John the Baptist's prophetic words regarding the journey ahead and its challenges.
They are suitable for use in class, worship, and also with leaders as they look at the challenges ahead and remember who goes with them. The "Hills and Valleys" video is an inspirational song from Tauren Wells with brilliant lyrics sure to stoke any study.
