Participants for a World Day of Prayer service Thursday, wearing colorful scarves and animal-print clothing, play rattles, tambourines, shakers and bells as they walk up the aisle of Bethel Lutheran Church in Boardman. Leading are Joyce Rettenmeir, left, and Ruth Abbott. Their apparel and instruments were a tribute to the women of Cameroon, Africa, who wrote the ecumenical service.
