I do!
The Bible commands it!
"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22
Notice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.
Have you ever looked up Sabbath in the:
Encyclopaedia Americana, vol.24, pp.68-69; it tells you it's Saturday.
Look in Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1-11 (Jesus didn't change the day to Sunday and the resurrection wasn't Sunday either--2Tim.2:18).
Look in Heb.10:26.
Look in 2Peter 2:21.
Now look at Rev.14:7; doesn't that go back to the 4th Commandment?
Now let's see if the Catholics know when the seventh day is.
"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?
"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910. [bible readings pg.194]
Dan.7:25 "he shall think to change times and laws"
Many (MATT.7:14)christians try to cite verses(1TIM.1:7)(MARK 7:7) to say the "10 commandments are done away with"; when they don't know what the passage is saying. They want to attack Jesus; so they're against Christ; so I wouldn't call them christians. But back to your question--
Some (MATT.7:14)christians still keep the law because the Bible tells us to. These same christians follow Jesus (Col.2:6).
Here are the verses for the 10 Commandments in New Testament:
ROM.3:31; GAL.3:21; JOHN 14:15; 15:10; 1JOHN 3:4,24; 5:2-3; REV.12:17; 14:7,12
Most religions try to say (Psalms 119:126)"the sabbath is done away with" when it's actually not! But if they seen the rest of the Bible like Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1-11 and Rev.14:7,12 = they would know it's not done away with!
Friday Even to Saturday Even is the Sabbath.
GEN.1:5,8,12,19,23,31 (even to morning)
LEV.23:32 (even to even)
Sabbath in (1984 New Consise Webster's Dictionary)
(Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69)
Calendar (7th day always Saturday)
Sabbath Verses:
Gen.2:2; Exodus 20:8-11; Lev.23:3; Mark 2:27-28; Luke 4:16; Heb.3:18-19; 4:1-11; John 4:22-24; Acts 17:2; 18:4; Rev.14:7
Actually the laws that were done away with are the "laws contained in ordinances".

Many people confuse these with the Seventh Day Sabbath and Sabbath Feast Days.
The Laws Contained in Ordinances = Eph.2:15 & Col.2:15
**It seems that most believe these two texts are saying that the Sabbath and/or Sabbath Feasts are done away with. Let me ask you a question: who wrote these books; wasn't it Paul? Paul kept the Sabbath (Acts 17:2) & Sabbath Feasts (Rom.5:11) like Jesus; then these texts must not be talking about that, when the Bible says to follow Jesus (Col.2:6) and the Apostles (Eph.2:20). If you believe the Bible is inspired (2Tim.3:16) & is the truth (John 17:17); continue on!
**If everyone read the Bible clearly on these matters like Jesus did; then they're wouldn't be false interpetations! The Bible says in Colossians 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you....which are a shadow of things to come" inwhich Jesus showed openly.
It explains some of these ordinances in Colossians 2:20-22 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"
Now Hebrews 9:9-13 explains it more!
See: Heb.9:10 "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and diverse washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."
The other part to this about "judging on the Sabbath,...etc." are in:
Mark 2:23-28; 7:2-23; Luke 13:10-16; 14:1-3 & John 5:8-10; 7:23-24.
Notice in every matter; the Pharisees thought it was wrong to eat with unwashed hands, to heal on the Sabbath, helping out people/animals on the Sabbath as other things; but Jesus always came back with Bible answers to them!
So what is actually done away with is "the judging of these days" and the animal sacrifices!

Saturday has always been the seventh day just look at the calendar...the week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday! for further proof look Matthew 28:1 it says " AFTER the Sabbath , at dawn on the FIRST day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb". This was the day of the resurrection which we all know is Sunday and like it says here THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. Why Christians stopped recognizing Saturday as the sabbath is beyond me, but we are not under the curse of the law anyway.

Saturday was indeed given as the day of Sabbath, however, when Jesus came, Sabbath laws and dietary laws were finished.
Col 2:16-17
16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

Saturday is the sabbath day of the week for us, but not the jewish sabbath. the jewish calendar is different. keyed to the new moon.
I worship on the first day of the week. New Testament, Jesus, really simple.. read the bible it explains it all we are not in the OLD Testament law..
You only ask because you don't know your bible, and those teaching you have you under the Old Testament. They have other little teachings too.. not in the bible at all.
This is for free: the guys above have it complete we can really worship on any day, not just the first day of the week. I worship that day as it is convenient for all. I could go wed for example and God is pleased. all this advice for free..

I go for Sunday. It is when our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It is also what the Catholic Church says is the sabbath. I believe in the Catholic Church's Authority to make that decision. I believe it concurs with God.
www.newadvent.com is a catholic encyclopedia where you can find more about the sabbath and why the Catholic Church lays claim to Sunday, if that would help. I'm not trying to persuade you, but merely stating my beliefs and on what ground they stand. You are free to disagree.

.Which day is the Sabbath? Is it Saturday? On which day should a Christian worship? I believe it is Sunday. The Saturday Sabbath was given to Israel. Ezekiel 20:12,20 states: I gave them [Israel] my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD and also hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you [Israel]. This was the first covenant to Israel.
Christians have a new covenant. Jesus made a surety of a better testament (Hebrews 7:22). He [Christ] is the mediator of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6). He [Christ] is the mediator of the new testament [or new agreement] (Hebrews 9:15).
Because of His death and this new agreement, we are no longer under ceremonial laws involving days. Moral laws are in effect in believer's hearts, but not the ceremonial laws. Proof? God says in Colossians 2:14,16 that Christ [blotted] out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.... Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy- day, or of the new moon, or [Get it!] of the sabbath days.
We are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). God's moral law is written within and upon the hearts of believers, but ceremonial laws involving days have been nailed to the cross. We honor the Saviour of the new covenant on a new day -- the day of His resurrection, which is Sunday, the first day of the week. This we do out of love, not servitude, not through law, but through grace.

Christians don't really follow the Sabbath.. that's something the Jews do... And does it really matter?.. Jesus came to fulfill the law for us, so we don't need to adhere to the law, but it is nice to have a day of rest from time to time :)

The day should not make a difference, time is an abstract human manifistation. Calanders aren't accurate, either or watches.

Man named the day of the week, how do we know what day is God's True 7th day of rest. You should keep all days holy for the Lord Jesus Christ.
