Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Activities include fellowship, music, art, movement, and service projects, plus a hot lunch. Starting May 1, Come Again meets every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2311 Elizabeth Ave. There is a small fee to attend. Come Again honors our loved ones living with dementia by lifting up their remaining strengths in a supportive, creative and purposeful way. For more information about joining Come Again or volunteering, contact director Lindsay Roberts at lindsayroberts@newbernrespite.org, 919.428.0618 or www.newbernrespite.org.

Set in modern-day Tokyo, Rental Family stars Brendan Fraser as Phillip, an American actor whose career has stalled and whose life seems to have lost direction. Desperate for work, he accepts a job with a unique Japanese agency that provides actors to play family members, friends, and companions for people in need. As Phillip steps into the lives of his clients, the boundaries between performance and genuine emotion begin to blur, leading him to discover unexpected friendships, renewed purpose, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to belong. Inspired by the real-life concept of Japan’s rental family services, the film balances gentle humor with heartfelt drama while exploring the importance of human connection.
