Just as you said, he went about His work (His Father's business).

No worship service?
All 6 appearances of Jesus happen on two Sundays, none on Sabbath. Mk 16:9; Mt 28:5-9; Lk 24:34; Lk 24:13-15; Lk 24:33,36 + Jn. 20:19; Jn 20:26. And it was on the latter that Jesus was rightly worshiped as God, as "Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God." (v.:28). And did you ever hear of Pentecost, which was on the first day as well? See http://www.bible.ca/7-sunday-significance-for-christians.htm for more reasons.
Some contend that we ought to keep the seventh day Sabbath, as it is an everlasting covenant, yet it is not alone in that category. Neither does it's sanctification prior to the codification of the 10 commandments establish it as an ordinance to be obeyed (as under the Old Covenant) under the New Covenant, as it, like circumcision (likewise an everlasting covenant), is also part of the ceremonial prefigurements that the Lord Jesus would and has, fulfilled.
As God rested from the work of creation the 7th day, the Lord Jesus rested from His work of atonement on the first day. The Lord then met the disciples on the first day of the week, and sent the Gift of the Holy Ghost on that day (Jn.. 20:1,19; Acts 2:1ff).
The 1st day is the only day specifically mentioned as a meeting day for a community of New Testament believers (Acts 20:7; 1Cor.16:2). Nor is there any mention of an established church specifically meeting on the 7th day, unlike on the 1st.
Meanwhile, 9 of the 10 commandments are reiterated in the New Testament, but the 4th commandment is conspicuously absent, and nowhere is there any command ever given under the New Covenant to the church to keep the 7th day Sabbath. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/lawandgrace.html
(Gal 4:10-11) "Ye observe [Jewish] days, and months, and times, and years. {11} I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
(Col 2:16-17) "Let no man therefore judge [context: force you to comply] you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: {17} Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

If Jesus died on Friday, three days later would be Monday, Not Sunday. How often in the bible have you read that Jesus held worship service?
To answer the actual question. He arose on sunday and went about his work because it wasn't his day off.

Well, Church services there were held the day before on Saturday. Church services are now held on Sunday in honor of his resurrection.

A worship service is suppose to about spending time learning and worshiping Jesus and God. Those last days Jesus spend on Earth He was with his followers teaching them the final things they needed to know. They were learning more about Jesus and were worshiping him. You don't have to have a Church to worship God.

When was this?
Saturday was the day of worship.
Christ served others. He preached many times.
Ever heard of The Sermon On The Mount?
He taught His disciples and spoke in parables.
That WAS his work.

I believe Saturday was the recognised Sabbath day. Then again, when all the calendars have been changed several times over one wonders what day it would actually have been. Not being sarcastic, just practical.

He was teaching a lesson we should follow:
Doing Christianity is more important than speaking about it.
BTW The Jews never had a Sunday.

God raised Jesus from the dead and Jesus sought out his disciples. There was no worship service to thank God.
It is not clear what Jesus did after God raised him from the dead. We only know Jesus gathered his disciples.

If you saw your church leader die and be taken away to his grave - what would you do if he suddenly arrived at church the next Sunday morning?

Not sure of your point here, but yes Saturday was the original day of rest in the Biblical sense.
