A 43-year-old British jam maker is the toast of Twitter today after successfully using the microblogging service to free herself from the inside of a locked church.
Sara Greep of Plymouth, England found herself trapped in the Minister Church of St. Andrew Sunday after volunteers mistakenly locked the doors while she was praying in a private area.
Knowing full well that she'd be stuck inside until that evening's service, the mother-of-two grabbed her smartphone in an attempt to find assistance.
I'm locked in inside St.Andrews Church! I was in private praying chapel & when I came out, everyone was gone & doors locked. #Plymouth #help-.-.Sarah.-.-
Trying to think of best way to get out of this church with minimum disruption. It's quite calm & peaceful in here so in no hurry #Plymouth-.-.Sarah.-.-
"I realised I was locked in so I started going through my phone book, thinking of all the people I could contact," Greep told the Guardian. "But it was a lovely day outside, I thought most people would be out enjoying the weather. I didn't want to bother anyone so I just started tweeting."
Strange feeling, locked in St.Andrews Church, thinking of every family member & not wanting to bother them, even the husband. #Plymouth-.-.Sarah.-.-
Phone signal keeps cutting in & out & battery low, so I'm going to see if I can research a number to ring. Locked in St.Andrews Church :S-.-.Sarah.-.-
Locked inside St.Andrews #Plymouth Long wait til doors open at 18.30. Will be drunk on holy wine by then http://pic.twitter.com/SGC7AETWmn-.-.Sarah.-.-
So instead, she continued to politely rile up support among her roughly 150 Twitter followers.
@SarahGreep are you ok? Can I ring any one however you obviously have a phone so silly question!Janet Hopkinson

@seanpaull all the fire doors are padlocked shut & alarmed. What times next service today anyone? #St.Andrews #Plymouth-.-.Sarah.-.-
While she waited to hear from someone - anyone - with a key to the door, Greep kept herself occupied by making a video for YouTube and exploring the church.

As I'm Gods prisoner locked inside St.Andrews does that qualify me as authorised to go in kitchen. Need a cuppa! http://pic.twitter.com/b0n1jZl3eU-.-.Sarah.-.-
Eventually, the local police caught wind of Greep's plight through Twitter and arranged for the building to be opened.

It may have been an uncomfortable few hours (especially without an open bathroom to use) but Greep appears to be taking the incident -- and her newfound local fame -- in stride.
I always said you can't believe anything you read in @TheSunNewspaper Virtually nothing here is true! http://pic.twitter.com/D0HyoafuBY-.-.Sarah.-.-
Awww my niece wants fame like her auntie lol. My fame has come without fortune ... unfortunately lol! http://pic.twitter.com/y4zDKRCSC3-.-.Sarah.-.-
She also managed to link up with Tudor Evans, the local city councillor who first alerted police to the fact that Greep was trapped.
Me and Tudor in St.Andrews today! :) @CouncillorTudor http://pic.twitter.com/lSkijWKfWc-.-.Sarah.-.-
