In the NT, if one pays attention, they were always going to Synagogue on the Sabbath...In Genesis it is written that G-d rested on the 7th day and hallowed it...It is commanded as a statute forever, to observe the Sabbath...
If you wished to go to the gathering of Jews in the first century to tell them about the Messiah you would need to do that on the day they are open.
The commandment was not given until after the Exodus. You are trying to read you belief into the text of Genesis and it is just not there. It was a command given to the Jews only and never given to the "Body of Christ" which is the Church today. Unless you have something new (not available for the past 200 years or so) that has not been used to try to prove your position you have nothing to stand on as far as I have ever seen. If you feel comfortable trying to go under a law that is not in force and was never for you then by all means have at it. Just don't try and bring others under that unnecessary bondage that Jesus has freed everyone from.
Yes and we should thank God for calling Paul and giving us the Gospel for all people and the Body of Christ we have today. I am eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father for calling Paul and using him for our sakes. Our God is an Awesome God! Can we agree on that?

Is it because Paul tells you that you can get away with sin, that you thank G-d for him?...

If you look at the history of the early church, even the gentiles were attending to learn about G-d and what He expected of them....Christianity was a Jewish sect within Judaism...

No Gentiles were going to any Synagogue in the early church.
I work retail and sometimes my schedule only allows me to attend church on Saturday nights. However, I feel guilty for not going on Sunday. In your opinion, does it really matter the date you attend service?
My church back in NY had the option of Saturday night service. I loved it. I'm not a morning person, and it was a lot easier for me.
I do not think God cares when we attend church. The more available times, the better, because of situations such as yours.
Is not true that the Jewish Sabbath begins not on Saturday morning, but already the evening before, on Friday evening as soon as the first stars are out?
If you apply this tradition to Christianity, you could regard the Saturday evening as part of Sunday - just as Sunday evening is amost already in the shadow of Monday morning again, thinking about and getting ready for the week? Going to church on Saturday evening could be the perfect start into your "day of rest", which ends on Sunday evening.
Take a look at the gentiles not being allowed in the synogogue in Acts
Acts 13:42-44 KJV And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. (43) Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. (44) And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Notice the Gentiles had to wait until the Jews were gone from the synagogue to address Paul. The reason is simple. They were not allowed in the synagogue. The Jews would not be in the same building with a Gentile.
