Sunday Worship

Sunday worship is a significant practice in the Christian faith, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and serving as a communal gathering for believers to worship, teach, and fellowship.

The shift from Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday worship occurred in the early church as a way to honor the resurrection of Jesus, which took place on the first day of the week. This practice was solidified in the context of a growing Christian community distinct from Jewish traditions.
