We mourn the transitioning but celebrate the beautiful life and legacy of Pastor Stanford R. Medlock of the New Life Direction Ministries Church on Third Street in Natchitoches, LA.  This dedicated religious leader was honorably discharged from God's Army September 11, 2025 while under the care of medical professionals at Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Please join the WINNFIELD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME in prayer for this dear family as they make final care decisions which will be posted shortly.

The celebration of life service will unfold at the Abundant Life Church, 620 Ben Drive Saturday, September 20, 2025.  The casketed remains will lie in state for public visitation in the church's sanctuary from 10:00 a. m. until 10:45 a. m.  The celebratory service will commence at 11:00 a. m. immediately followed by interment at the Lawrence Serenity Sanctum.

Bishop Kelvin G. Stewart will officiate at this Homegoing Service.
