ClassyOne - You're right. I do remember reading that.

No! The Bible clearly states that you should not have to go to church every Sunday in order to show your love for God. It also states that you should not pray before others but in the quiet of your prayer closet, meaning, do not go to church just to be seen by others in order to be praised. As long as you keep a relationship with God you will be fine. Keep your prayer strong and consult your Bible often.

No it does not mean you have to go to mass on Sunday, because the Sabbath is Saturday. But you are supposed to go to church on Saturday.The commandment says that you are to keep Saturday holy. Levitivus 23 says that the Sabbath(Saturday) is a holy day when we are to assIemble to worship God.
check out this video about the Sabbath

The original Sabbath was from sundown Friday night to sundown on Saturday--and Jewish people (and some Christians) still keep it. Most Christians have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, so if you are one of them, you're probably supposed to go to church on Sunday.

No, it would include holy days of Obligation, such as the Feast of the Immaculate Mary just this past December 8.

No. I play a selection of sacred music at home on Sundays.

Essentially, it means, "Work six days, and on the 7th, rest."
Many use their 7th day to attend church, but that is not what it directly means. Literally, it is God's commandment for you to REST.
As for worship, believers should be worshipping every day, regardless of what day it is. And you do not have to attend church to worship and pray to God. You can do that on your own. I think there are Catholic churches that hold mass every day.
Fellowship is important, but you do not have to do it on your 7th day.

ATTENDING MASS MEANS TO RECEIVE COMMUNION, GOOD CATHOLICS DO THAT. I BELIEVE RELIGION IS A PERSONAL THING, EVERYONE SHOULD PRACTICE THEIRS, IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM HAPPY, WHEREVER IT MAKES THEM HAPPY. THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN PRIVATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR THEM............WHAT CAN I SAY THIS IS ONLY MY HUMBLE OPINION.

According to the wide ranging, sweeping, and unqualified authority Jesus gave only to the church he personally founded ... ABSOLUTELY!
