A friend online who is not in the same church, had a interesting question that would be good to see what answer we find:
"We have Scripture telling us that, from the beginning, God set apart the seventh day. In Genesis 2:2–3 we are told:
By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
But God did not stop there. In the Old Testament He also declared specific Sabbaths, appointed times, and holy convocations for reasons He Himself specified in Scripture...
Some time before the fourth decade AD, Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
The one and only person who had been sent to earth as the Messiah and Savior had died and risen again.
As this surely has to be considered the most important event in human history, why did God not institute, at minimum, some kind of holy convocation for Christians ... the true believers in Christ ... to meet and celebrate what was done for us?"
What answer can be articulated to that?
