Trinity Lutheran College presented Holden Village with an historic letter during Holden’s 50th anniversary celebration, held Nov. 12 at Normanna Lodge in Everett. The letter, dated June 23, 1960, transferred Holden Village from Howe Sound Company, a mining company, to the Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle (now Trinity). LBI began offering programs the following summer, in 1961, and later created a separate corporation to grow Holden’s mission as a center for work, study, and church renewal.
