Mark your calendars and join us for the TUC (The Unexpected Cosmology) 2025 Passover Retreat! We will be coming together as a community on March 26-30, 2025, in Lake Fort Smith State Park, Arkansas. We are counting our months using the full moon as the New Moon. Thusly, Passover meal will be on Friday, March 28, sundown, with the High Sabbath Feast of Unleavened Bread following on Saturday, Marcy 29. Even if you choose to keep Passover on another day, join and fellowship with us, anyways. It will be a beautiful connection time for the growing TUC family, eating meals together and taking part in daily studies (morning and evening), as well as leisurely afternoons for fun and exploration in Lake Fort Smith, not forgetting the endless late-night conversations from the most researched Torah community on the motionless plane.

The anticipated theme of the TUC 2025 Retreat will be “Second Passover,” a serial study which will connect the Passover event in Exodus with the Messiah’s atoning work in the Gospels, tying in the Second Passover Event and what it entails.

There are only a limited number of tickets available, 60 total between the two lodges. “Food” and “Lodging” as well as the Passover meal are included in the general admission. Check-in begins on Wednesday March 26 at 4pm, with Hors d’oeuvres being served that night (since many will be arriving late). Thursday-Saturday will include three square meals eaten communally. Sunday includes breakfast, and we need to be vacated by 11am.

Each ticket is adjusted to reflect bedding preference. We have a girl dormitory containing single beds, a boy dormitory containing sing beds, and private single male/female rooms, with a few private rooms for couples. To help you find your way, the Wild Turkey Lodge contains mostly public dorm spaces, separated by a girl wing and boy wing, while the Kingfisher Lodge has mostly private rooms for singles, couples, and families. Please see the provided maps to select your bed. 

We also have a limited 4-day Food-Day ticket option for those who would rather camp or stay in an RV site at Lake Fort Smith rather than in either Lodge, about 20 tickets in total (parking is limited).

Please let us know how many cars you or your party will be parking on the premises as we have a limited number of spaces.

Tickets are expected to go on sale here on Wednesday, August 28, at 12 noon EST for all TUC Ministry Supporters. Remaining tickets will be made available to the public soon afterwards.
