As a Christian, we are commanded to keep the Sabbath holy.
The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week. (Saturday NOT Sunday)
I would be interested in finding a Christian church, (Not Jehova Witness Temple) that worships on Saturday in my area.
If you are in God's service, and you read this, Tell me your thoughts regarding Saturday worship services VS. "traditional" services.

To the second responder, I do not believe that we can pick and choose which commandments to keep, or which idealogy
makes something "ok" where it is commanded that it is not "ok".
I agree that we are not to judge, Lest we be judged. The recent homosexual preacher scandal is a perfect example...
BTW, It was an edict from a pope that created Sunday as the day of worship.
There was also an edict stating that the "pope" is "infallable".
Imagine that...A mortal man being "infallible"...
All I am saying here, is that it was a MAN that made Sunday the day of worship
God made it on Saturday!

Try any Seventh Day Adventist church. They go to church on Saturday.
This site explains some of their beliefs:

Try this site too. They have churches all over the country. Here is a a listing of the ones in Wisconsin:

I personally belong to a Baptist church and like going to church on Sunday. I try not to judge other people about their beliefs.

You are quite right in stating that the Sabbath is Saturday. There are many Sabbath keeping churches in your area. Just type in Seventh Day Adventist churches and you will be directed to a site that list many churches in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Jehovah's Witnesses call one of their houses of worship a "Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses"; each of the larger ones that seat 1200 to 5000 is called an "Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses".
They have no biblical objections to the more common English term "church", but prefer a term that is not identified so closely with Christendom.

Incidentally, Jehovah's Witnesses agree that the sabbath was on Saturday, but disagree that Almighty God requires Christians to concentrate their worship of him onto a particular day. Many JW congregations have Saturday meetings simply for the convenience of congregants, however.
