A woman praying solo in a U.K. church was saved on Sunday - by
the higher power of Twitter, which she turned to after being
accidentally locked inside the house of worship by a volunteer that
morning. “I’m locked inside St. Andrews Church! I was in private praying chapel
and when I came out, everyone was gone and doors locked. #Plymouth
#help,” tweeted Sarah Greep, a jam maker and mother of two who is based
in the English seaside city of Plymouth, in Devon.
After first
making some unsuccessful attempts to call church volunteers, whose names
and numbers were listed in the back of a pamphlet—and because her phone
battery was low and service was cutting in and out - Greep decided to
turn to a medium with a bit more reach.“I didn't want to bother anyone so I just started tweeting,” she told the Independent.
For the next few hours, Greep, owner of the regionally popular Janner Jam company, alternately tried calling people and tweeting about being trapped, which she didn’t seem to mind all that much.
“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,” she wrote. “Just hope there's not a fire! Unlikely at least. There's drink, water, wine & so on, but no toilet.” Greep explained in a later tweet that the bathrooms, along with the fire doors, were locked.
