Have you ever attended a worship service on Saturday?

I believe that Saturday ,the seventh day of the week, is the day that God set aside and made holy and commanded us to keep. Therefore, I do go to a church that worships on Saturday, the Seventh Day Adventist church. I have seen signs for Seventh Day Baptist church also, and the Jews believe in Saturday Sabbath.

Yes. I have attended worship service on any day. It doesn't matter to me, and it did not matter to Paul, and Jesus I can add, said that it could be done anywhere.
From Colossians 2:
16 Therefore 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. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
I KNOW that this goes against the popular thought that Saturday is the real Sabbath, and Sunday is right by others, but here I find that I am not to judge others for any day they choose to gather in His name.
And from Jesus I find that it doesn't matter where I am physically. I can worship anywhere:
John 4
21Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
So what is going on inside is more important, when and where is not important. It's in His name that we gather and we worship. That's important.
And OH how they fight over this thing! If they only understood what it was they were reading!

A - Most all Christians are Gentiles and not bound to a specific day for Sabbath. B - Worshipping and praising God and Christ should be done ALL the time, even on Saturdays or 'sabbaths'.
We have contemporary service on Saturday evenings. It is laid back and a lot of fun. I enjoy signing in the band.

Saturday is the correct day of worship. The Jews worship on Saturday, no?
I do not believe that I have ever attended Saturday church.
I have a non resident Pastor and study daily in the comfort of my home.

I went to a crusade (traveling worship service), and I've been to many revivals (special exhortation services). As for Biblical practice, it doesn't matter what day you choose to worship on. Jesus fulfilled the Law and put into place a new Law. You are no longer bound to worship on the Sabbath, so long as you worship 1 day a week. Quite convenient for this modern world where not everyone is free to worship on Saturday, or even on Sunday. Jesus specifically spoke about this issue during His ministry, and He concluded that "The Sabbath was made for man, man was not made for the Sabbath!" I rest comfortably on His greater wisdom.

Yes, I have. The church I attend has nine different service times, four of which are on Saturday. I still don't manage to go but once or twice a month, but it is nice to have options.
Even if we believe in God, some Christians like being able to sleep in on Sunday!

I can attend Mass every day of the week, including Saturdays.
To fulfill our weekly Sunday obligation, Catholics may attend a Saturday evening vigil mass, and many do.

If you are a Seventh Day Adventist, Saturday church is best. Otherwise, Sunday is traditionally preferred. But any day is better than no day at all.

Catholic churches conduct mass seven days a week. There is nothing wrong with it, per say. The people who focus on Saturday worship the most (besides Jews) are the Seventh-Day Adventists. There is a great article about them at: http://www.catholic.com/library/Seventh_Day_Adventism.asp

I'm not Jewish, so I really don't think there should be Church on Saturday.
However, I understand why it's done, and if it helps bring people closer to God then I really can't argue too much against it.
I have attended Church on Saturday on occasion, but don't make a habit of it.
