Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® Announces Stefani Pady as Prayer Brunch, presented by Knouse Foods/Musselman's, Inspirational Speaker

The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® is pleased to announce Stefani Pady as the inspirational speaker for the 2026 Prayer Brunch presented by Knouse Foods/Musselman’s. The event will take place at Fellowship Bible Church, 3217 Middle Road on Friday, May 1, 2026, from 11 am to 1 pm.


Stefani Pady is the founder and coach behind GLS Coaching and Consulting and Women, Worship and Work. While thriving in what she once considered her “dream” corporate role, she found herself burned out and spiritually depleted. Reading the Bible cover-to-cover for the first time became a turning point—God used that season to speak calling, clarity, and conviction into her life, ultimately forming the foundation of her business and ministry.


Today, Stefani is a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, published author, and professional speaker who equips both men and women in leadership roles. Through her Leading with Excellence and Selling with Excellence programs, she partners with growth-minded midsize to large organizations to develop stronger leaders, healthier cultures, and higher-performing teams.

In ministry, Stefani walks alongside women by grounding everyday life in Scripture, helping them cultivate confidence, clarity, passion, and purpose through the truth of God’s Word. You can learn more about her leadership and coaching work at https://glscoach.com/ and her ministry at https://womenworshipandwork.com/


The annual Prayer Brunch is a cherished Festival tradition, offering attendees an uplifting message and a meaningful time of fellowship. Tickets are $50.
