We were taught to worship on Sunday yet the real day to worship is Saturday and keep it holy.

According to the New Testament, we are told "pray without ceasing" so we are to WORSHIP God daily.
However, I believe your question is regarding which day we are to REST and if I'm correct... then that day of rest would be the seventh day, that is according to the New Testament. Which according to your calendar would be Saturday.
Unfortunately,it is complex..in terms of our lifestyles because its not practical, convienent, or socially acceptable to go to church on a Saturday. So yes times have changed, but the Bible was written long before the prophets had web access, myspace pages and 60 hour workweeks.
So the word doesnt change because the author has not, nor will.
Saturday is the seventh day sabbath...the word is clear.

the bible says clearly to worship on the seventh day which is Saturday which is definite but the catholic church changed this to the Sunday during there control of the religious beliefs (look it up its the way it happened) so the other religions worshipping on Sunday are doing it either by habit or haven't looked hard enough into it to get the right answer, and the story about changing the day to Sunday when he got resurrected is a laugh why did he rise on Sunday? well because he rested the day before on Saturday he wasn't rising on the day his father said is the day to rest now think about it

Sunday is the day of worship, but if you have to work, you can find an alternative.
There is a difference between private worship, which is everyday, and public worship, which is once a week.
The Bible give a clear definition of "first day of the week" to be Sunday in Acts 20:7 - this text shows the apostolic tradition of gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, the "first day of the week." Luke documents the principle worship was on Sunday because this was one of the departures from the Jewish form of worship.

In the Bible, in Genesis, it is written: By the seventh day God finished what he had been doing and stopped working. He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his creation and stopped working. And that is how the universe was created. Sunday, the 7th day, is a day of rest and worship. The word of God never, never changes.

The word does not change! James 1:17 says: “With him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.”a close examination of the Bible as a whole reveals a God who is unchanging in his standards and qualities.God’s firmness for righteousness, as revealed throughout the Bible, is no less nor his love any greater than it was at the beginning of his dealings with humans in Eden. The differences in his personality seemingly demonstrated in various parts of the Bible are in reality different aspects of the same unchanging personality. These result from the differing circumstances and persons dealt with, which called for different attitudes or relationships.
Hence, the Scriptures show clearly that God’s personality has not changed over the centuries and will not change in the future. Yahweh is the supreme embodiment of constancy and consistency. At all times he is dependable and trustworthy. We can always rely on him.

The Bible says keep holy the sabbath. This was the seventh day. The 7th day is Saturday. Jesus is a Jew and like all Jews worships on Saturday.

Actually the bible tells us not to judge any man on the "holy days he keeps". So to answer your question, no the word doesn't change. What's important is that we do worship the one true God, and His son, Jesus Christ. What is not important is finding fault with other people for going to church on a different day than we do.

Under the Law of moses it was the seventh day or Saturday, but under the New Testament Law of Jesus we find the early Christians met and worshiped on the first day of the week, the Lord's day or Sunday see Acts 20:7
