Youth Gathering Cornhole Tournament
Toss for a Cause: Cornhole Tournament Returns to the Trinity Picnic
The bags are ready. The boards are coming out. And this year, every toss helps send our students to the 2028 LCMS Youth Gathering!
Following our Unified Worship Service on Sunday, August 23, stick around for the Trinity Community Picnic—and grab a partner for our annual Cornhole Tournament Fundraiser.
This year, the tournament is about more than a little friendly competition. Registration fees will support Trinity Student Ministries as we begin preparing for the 2028 LCMS Youth Gathering.
Helping Make the Gathering Possible
Every three years, thousands of Lutheran teenagers and adult leaders from across the country gather for several days of worship, learning, service, and community at the LCMS Youth Gathering.
For Trinity, getting our students there is a community effort.
Over the next two years, our students, families, congregation, and supporters will work together to help make the trip financially accessible for the young people who want to participate. Our Cornhole Tournament is one of the first opportunities to get involved—and our goal is to raise enough through this event to help cover the registration costs for the adult leaders who will accompany and serve our students.
That means you can support Student Ministry simply by tossing a few bags, enjoying some friendly competition, and spending an afternoon together.
Grab a Partner—or Come on Your Own
You don't have to be a cornhole expert to play. In fact, enthusiasm may be considerably more important than skill!

Register as a two-person team for $25, or sign up individually and we'll help pair you with a partner. Space is limited to 24 teams, so early registration is encouraged.
Feeling especially confident—or perhaps just strategically generous? Teams will also have an opportunity to purchase a first-round bye for an additional $25 donation to Student Ministries.
The tournament begins at 12:00 p.m. during the Community Picnic, with games continuing throughout the afternoon.
One Community Investing in the Next Generation
Our Unified Service and Picnic are about bringing the many parts of Trinity together as one community—and this tournament is a great example of what that can look like.
Some of us will travel to the Youth Gathering. Others will serve as leaders. Some will help with fundraising. And plenty of us can simply show up, play a game, cheer from the sidelines, and help make an incredible experience possible for the next generation.
So grab your partner, work on that throwing arm, and get ready to toss for a cause!
