Yes, from even to even, when it is close to sunset . I had to press that point gb, because some people say evening starts in the afternoon which is literally hours away from sunset.. And yes, I have observed Sabbath for nearly 40 years from sunset to sunset or as near as possible, seeing we get little sun in winter in the northern Hemisphere.(England).
o.k., so this proves what I have been trying to explain to you- Jesus died on thur, afternoon ( 1 ), was in the tomb through the Sabbath, ( 2 ), and then, sometime overnight, after the sundown ended Sabbath and started the first day of the week, He rose, then ' early in the morning " the women discovered the empty tomb.
that is the basis for sunday worship,

First of all the word *church* needs to be defined.
For example :
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
That can be defined as church. Many so called churches are far
from what scripture teaches and is going to those the right thing
to do. Any church, no matter what can only bring you so far. They
teach the intellectual Christ. A couple of hours on a Sunday is
sufficient for many if not most. There comes a time when we no
longer need to know about God but rather to know God intimately
by surrendering to Him. Once the Spirit is in us, we become a new
creation in Christ. At that point our only desire is the love of God.
And that would not be on Sunday only or any other day only but
every single day of our Christian life. Once God is in us and we are
in God, there is no one that can teach us anything other than the
direct power of God. If we do not bring ourselves to that place, no
preacher is going to help us. Our mission in Christianity is to walk
like Jesus did on earth.

Frankly, I think the Sabbatarian argument is baseless. Nowhere in the NT are Christians commanded to worship on a specific day. Nowhere in the NT are Christians forbidden from worshiping on a certain day either.
It is incorrect to call Sunday 'the Sabbath' but it is also incorrect to claim that Christians are wrong to worship on Sunday. Further, I don't accept the argument that the first day of the week is the day on which Christians are to gather. That's just what they happened to do in the first century, but saying that we "must" is making doctrine from narrative, which is always suspect.
If it works for your fellowship to meet on a Thursday afternoon, and you spend that time in the Word, in song, in prayer and fellowship and the breaking of bread, but don't meet on Saturday or Sunday, is that somehow wrong or inadequate? Um, no. Not a bit.
