They met other days of the week as well. Check your Bible.
Do you have a source for your thought that they simply met "whenever they could"

That was their commission to go out and spread the Gospel. They did this with every fiber of their being. It is insulting to think they were once-a-week churchgoers and just went about their business as usual throughout the week. Every waking moment was spent trying to please their Lord which they knew personally.

"It is insulting to think they were once-a-week churchgoers and just went about their business as usual throughout the week."

I recognize the truth of what yhou say, that they were 24/7/365 Christians who witnessed to Christ with every fiber of their being.

I did not, however, say that they were once-a-week churchgoers. I said that Sunday beame a special day so prayer for them when they gathered. This --- as well as fervent daily devotion and action for Christ -- is attested to in Acts and in the earliest hisrtorical records we have.

Both --- daily lively faith life, and weekly special gtherin on Sunday --- are from the earliest times.
