Happy Resurrection Sunday!
“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.”
Matthew 28:6

🖤 Good Friday invites us to stop… and stand at the foot of the cross.

To remember what it really cost.

The betrayal.
The silence.
The mocking.
The nails.

The weight of every sin ... past, present, future ... placed on the shoulders of One who had none.

“He was pierced for our transgressions… crushed for our iniquities.” (Isaiah 53:5)

This was surrender.

This was love choosing the cross … knowing exactly what it would take.

And in the middle of the darkness, with breath growing shorter and the end drawing near, He spoke the words that changed everything:

“It is finished.” (John 19:30)

Not “I am finished.”

But it is finished.

The debt—paid.
The sacrifice—complete.
The separation—undone.

No more striving to earn what has already been given.
No more carrying what He already bore.

Today, we don’t rush to Sunday.

We sit here.

We feel the weight.
We remember the cost.
We let it humble us… and hold us.

Because before there was an empty tomb;
there was a rugged cross.

And before there was victory,
there was sacrifice.

This is love.

If this truth moves your heart today, share it—so someone else can remember what was finished for them.

Dear Dakota Baptist Family,

On behalf of the Executive Board of the Dakota Baptist Convention, I am delighted to share with you the board met March 21, 2026 in Bismarck, ND and voted unanimously to call Dr. Lee Merck as our next Executive Director. Having had the opportunity to spend some time with Lee and his wife, Christie, for a few days leading up to the board’s vote was a great privilege, and I can assure you they have a heart not only for the Lord, but for the Dakotas as well. We talked a great deal about all the work the Lord is already doing in the Dakotas, and I cannot express enough how impressed I have been to hear them share their heart to lead us to get on our faces before God, hear from Him, discover where He is already at work, and join Him in what He is doing to build His Kingdom in North and South Dakota. We are so blessed and grateful the Lord has called Lee and Christie to step into this vital role as we seek to serve Him together. I truly believe the our best days are ahead of us, and I want to invite you to join me and the rest of your Executive Board in welcoming the Mercks to the Dakotas. Lee & Christie, welcome home, and may God pour all of us out together for the praise of His glory, and may we be found faithful to the task He has placed before us!

Josh Bonner - Chairman
DBC Executive Board

BISMARCK, N.D. (BP) – The Dakota Baptist Convention Executive Board voted unanimously on March 21 to call Lee Merck as its new executive director.

Vacation Bible School Still Changes Lives

by Karen Holmes

Believe it or not, summer is approaching fast! It’s that time of the year again. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL! For me, it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Not long after Christmas, our house begins to fill up with all things VBS. Boxes and boxes take up room on our dining room table, floor, living room floor, spare bedroom. Where ever there is an empty space, you will start seeing VBS. So, I would have room for company, our VBS stuff was moved down to the church this year.
