To guide our time of reflection and conversation, Dr. Burton Lee and his wife Sandy Lee will explore with us The 4 M’s of Medicine: Mission, Medicine, Marriage, Money.

May we be sent forth from our time together as Christ’s ambassadors. Register Today!

Sandy Cove retreat center is located on the Northeast side of the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Surrounded by beautiful water, natural landscaping, one of the most serene places in the world. It’s hard to not feel God’s presence there. Sandy Cove Ministries is well equipped with a bookstore, prayer room, exercise room, indoor pool, delicious meals, and outdoor trails and fields. It is located 60 miles south of Philadelphia. Take I-95 to Exit 100-A (Southbound) or Exit 100 (Northbound) in Maryland, just south of the MD/DE state line. Take Rt. 272 South for 7 miles through North East, Maryland. Sandy Cove will be on the right. Better to leave early to avoid long delays in traffic. Friday dinner is on your own and there are several restaurants between the interstate and North East, Maryland.
