The 12 churches of the Edgewood Ministerium, a group of churches from all denominations, are banding together to promote Back to Church Sunday in Edgewood this weekend. Sunday, Sept. 30, will serve as a great opportunity for neighbors to come back to church or experience church for the first time. Members understand it can be easy to get busy and out of the habit of going to church, so Back to Church Sunday is a chance for individuals and families to see what it's all about and perhaps find their own church family.

For most of us, a trip to New York City means there will be rides on the Subway. Visits to Washington, D.C., are much more palatable when parking problems are traded for train rides on the Metro. Go to San Francisco or Oakland, Calif., and odds are a ride on the BART (short for Bay Area Transit) will be part of the itinerary. Chicago has its L (short for elevated). Boston has the T (short for transportation). Here in the greater Baltimore region, though, train transport is a realistic option only for commuters whose schedules are as regimented and predictable as the days of the week.
