...keeps the Sabbath? I am looking for a straight forward answer. I am not looking to debate at this time whether or not a person should or should not keep the Sabbath. And as I posted in the question I am not Mormon. No offense meant. I just wanted to clarify due to the possible name confusion. Also if you are able could you provide a location of where you worship and a possible contact for me. I am a Christian with the Church of Christ who studied and found that we are supposed to be keeping the Sabbath and cannot find a place to worship. Please help.
 
That's what I like about Protestantism! Many adherents don't know where their place of worship is, or what their supposed method of worship is. Also Sabbath does not necessarily mean Saturday or Sunday; it means day of rest and prayer.
 
Not sure but hope this helps...

Doing Good on the Sabbath

"Get up, pick up your cot and walk." Jesus spoke these words to a man who had been sick for 38 years. The Gospel account continues: "With that the man immediately became sound in health, and he picked up his cot and began to walk." Surprisingly, not all were pleased by this turn of events. Says the account: "The Jews went persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things during Sabbath."—John 5:1-9, 16.

The Sabbath was intended to be a day of rest and rejoicing for all. (Exodus 20:8-11) By Jesus' day, though, it had become a maze of oppressive, man-made rules. Scholar Alfred Edersheim wrote that in the lengthy Sabbath-law sections of the Talmud, "matters are seriously discussed as of vital religious importance, which one could scarcely imagine a sane intellect would seriously entertain." (The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah) The rabbis attached life-and-death importance to frivolous, arbitrary rules that regulated virtually every aspect of a Jew's life—often with cold-blooded disregard for human feeling. One Sabbath rule decreed: "If a building fell down upon a man and there is doubt whether he is there or not, or whether he is alive or dead, or whether he is a gentile or an Israelite, they may clear away the ruin from above him. If they find him alive they may clear it away still more from above him; but if [he is] dead, they leave him."—Tractate Yoma 8:7, The Mishnah, translated by Herbert Danby.

How did Jesus view such legalistic hairsplitting? When criticized for healing on the Sabbath, he said: "My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working." (John 5:17) Jesus was not performing secular work in order to enrich himself. Rather, he was doing the will of God. Just as the Levites were allowed to continue their sacred service on the Sabbath, Jesus could rightfully carry out his God-assigned duties as the Messiah without violating God's Law.—Matthew 12:5.

Jesus' Sabbath-day cures also exposed the Jewish scribes and Pharisees as being "righteous overmuch"—rigid and unbalanced in their thinking. (Ecclesiastes 7:16) Certainly, it was not God's will that good works be restricted to certain days of the week; nor did God intend the Sabbath to be an empty exercise in rule following. Jesus said at Mark 2:27: "The sabbath came into existence for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the sabbath." Jesus loved people, not arbitrary rules.

Christians today thus do well not to be overly rigid or rule oriented in their thinking. Those in authority in the congregation refrain from burdening others with excessive man-made rules and policies. Jesus' example also encourages us to look for opportunities to do good. For instance, never would a Christian reason that he will share Bible truths only when he is formally engaged in the house-to-house ministry or when he is on the public platform. The Christian, says the apostle Peter, should be "always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you." (1 Peter 3:15) The doing of good has no time restrictions.
