To earlier answerers;
The Christian sabbath (Sunday) is only so because the Council of Nicea wanted to move away from Judaism. Until then the Sabbath had always been the same as the Jewish one.

I'm not sure you're going to find any organized churches with that particular practice. It's rare to find even one person like that, and kudos to you for sticking to your beliefs! Most would simply have gone Adventist; it's at least the right day. But the old way? Not so sure about that. I guess your best bet is what you've done. Post it online. See if you can find anyone else. It's gonna be difficult, though, I can tell you. Most people don't want to spend a whole day in church, so it'll probably be a private thing, and you wanna watch out for the weirdos who end up drinking kool-aid.

And for those who don't know, Sabbath means "seventh day." You know, "And on the seventh day, God rested?" Some argue which day would be the seventh day, since, if you look at the calendar on your wall, you will likely see Sunday at the beginning, not the end, of the week. Seventh Day Adventists are Christians that believe the Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday. And I believe one of the Commandments is: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. So Christians DO observe the Sabbath, we just can't figure out exactly when it's supposed to be.

To the best of my knowledge the only other churches that observe the Saboth that aren't a bunch of wackos are the Messianic Jewish churches and Calvary Chapel churches. You can do a google search to find one that is nearest you. I like the Calvary Chapel Churches the best, but both are good churches. They aren't all fire all fire and brimstone in their teaching. they are very knowledgable of the Hebrew and Aramaic language. I think you would like their church.
By the way, the apostles did not change the Saboth. It was the Catholic church that did that. Up until then The Saboth was recognized by Christians. Most important of all, Jesus went to the Synogog on the Saboth. He did say that it was made for man. As in if you have to do something that is necessary do it. But as far as the Sunday thing, it was done by Catholics and their track record on changing God's word and worshiping deag humans (saints) is well known. That and making it them who decides who is a saint. That goes against God's word. As Paul asked, " Do not you all know that you are all saints? " But any way I digress. It is good to honor the Sabath and worship, but you can go to a church any day of the week my friend. I wouldn't be too concerned adherening to the old Jewish custom.

There is a group called Messianic Jews who worship on the traditional seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) from sun down Friday to sun down Saturday. Have you tried to find them? They can be found in most larger cities of the USA.

You can find it among the Jews. The sabbath is strictly a part of Judaism. There is no such thing as a Christian Sabbath. Christians come together on the day of resurrection, not the Sabbath.

Keep in mind, in Judaism, you also get a whole pack of laws and rules which will not work. There is also no removal of sin under the Old Law of Moses, only atonement and forgiveness, there remains the sin in the spiritual realm unatoned. Only through Jesus will atonement be made. So, you are up the creek with Judaism, in the sin department.

Christians do not worship on 7th day Sabbath. The apostles changed the day of worship to the FIRST day, and we have much 2nd century documentation to prove this: |If then, those who walked in ancient customs came to new hope, no longer sabbathing but living by the Lord's Day, on which we came to life through Him and through His death...." (Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Magnesians c. AD 107)
"|And on the day called Sunday . . . gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read . . .But Sunday is the one which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God . . . made the World. And Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead that same day". (Justin Martyr c. AD160)

Since even the earliest documented Christian churches said they met on Sundays, I think what you find if any will be discontinuous observances, not traditionally handed-down ones.

The Sabbath is still reserved, but for family and God (personal time), not for corporate worship, which has alwys been observed by Christians on Sunday, since the beginning of the Christian church.

There is no reason to split hairs over which day is the Sabbath day.

The Sabbath day is the day of rest after six days of work.

For most people on the present calendar that would be on the weekend somewhere. The representation of a day of rest after six days of work is representative of your reforemation and regeneration (AKA the process of getting "reborn" or "getting a heart of flesh" or getting "circumcised of the heart.").

Good luck. I don't even know if the Catholic church does that anymore.
Why all the hostility in reguards to Seventh day Adventist?

Go to any worldwide church of God. Check in the internet their meeting places. Or try the Assemblies of Yahweh. They are also sabbath keepers. Or to garner ted armstrong ministries check them all out.
