Crispus Creamus
Many years ago our own Rob Wegner brilliantly illustrated the waters of baptism through a visit to a local Krispy Kreme store. As I recall, the idea wasn't original to us, but Rob took it and made it come alive. People who previously didn't understand the big deal about baptism–it became clear through this video tool and the message surrounding it. We've used this video many times since and hundreds have followed through in obedience after making a decision to follow Christ.
Rob thinks we should retire this video. Actually, he has begged. But alas, I personally think it's a classic and should be bronzed and kept alive for generations to come. Thus, I asked the team today to load it on Vimeo and YouTube so the world could appreciate it the way I do. I'm sure Rob won't mind.
Go ahead…leave a comment here and tell Rob what you think about the video. If you want to include the words "Tim is right" — that would be just fine.

Tim is right! This is the video I saw at GCC before I was baptized by Rob. Awesome video!

This is definitely a classic, you can’t retire it! This video was made before we even had a Krispy Kreme in the area… I remember my dad and I made a side trip to Krispy Kreme on our way to Cedar Point that summer and brought pictures back for Rob.

That is a classic. “Tim is right.”

Retiring this would be like Beeson retiring the heart chained to the dollar – It just wouldn’t be right!!!! Once again Tim is right!
Joshua Gregory
Keep it! And bring back the “Can’t spell Christmas without Christ” slide show!

This is an awesome classic!! Rob is at his “campy” best. I look forward every year to seeing the video. It never gets old, I laugh every time.

Wow. Are you really not going to give credit to Ed Young at Fellowship Church at all on this one? He shot this video in June of 2001.

Andy – I said above it was not original with us, but couldn’t recall the source. I often can’t remember something that happened yesterday, much less 8 years ago. Thanks for your help.

Love it. Tim is right.
And by the way, we might borrow the idea….and we’ll give credit wherever it’s due. Not to us….

saw the video for the first time… good illustration and connection but trying with too much energy, first half kinda annoying.

I remember this video well from my early attendance at GCC. I’ve been gone from Indiana for six years now, but still have great memories of practical tools like the lesson in this video–loved the humor then and now! Tim–you’re right! A classic like this shouldn’t be retired!
