Bonus videos and free resources for the Encore! children’s ministry curriculum (4 weeks · Kids & PreK).
Encore! picks up right where our Easter curriculum ends. See the It’s Not Over! Easter videos for the first half of the story.
📖 Memory Verse Video: Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, BSB)
Week 1 — The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35)
Week 2 — Jesus Appears and Opens the Scriptures (Luke 24:36–49)
No standalone kids’ video tells this scene on its own. This ascension episode covers the moment Jesus opened His friends’ minds to the Scriptures and promised the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:44–49) — it appears again at Week 3.
Week 3 — The Ascension (Acts 1:1–11)
Week 4 — Waiting, Praying, and Choosing Matthias (Acts 1:12–26)
Both Week 4 videos cover the wider Acts 1 story — no children’s video tells the choosing of Matthias on its own.
Every activity in the Encore! curriculum is complete on paper — the videos and links on this page are optional extras, and every week stands alone. Find thousands more free lessons, crafts, and coloring pages at Ministry-to-Children and Sunday School Works.
