I think since there is no biblical imperative to meet on Sunday having a Saturday service as an alternative is a good idea if it can be justified.

Ferdinand,
Originally we were going to add one Saturday evening service to the three Sunday services we have now (9am, 11 am & 6pm). However in figuring out how best not to wear out the folks who work / volunteer each weekend it was decided that having two evening services on Saturday (5 pm & 7pm) and two morning services on Sunday (9 am & 11 am) would be best and I agree.
Now the folks that will have their Saturday evenings dedicated to helping with two services will have Sunday evenings off.
BTW we are offering Sunday School at all four services so that in itself is a huge volunteer effort.

Is your pastor the only one doing the preaching?

Yes except for every once in a awhile when the Executive Pastor preaches. The Pastor concentrates on the pulpit ministry and overall direction / management of the church while the Executive Pastor concentrates on the day to day management of the staff and volunteers, etc.
Interesting trivia is that both the Pastor and Executive Pastor's college degrees are in English! At some point both taught school with the Executive Pastor having been a High School English teacher for a few years until he gave that up for full time ministry a year or two ago as our church grew.

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist
I rather miss the old Saturday Church Rallies we used to have once a month or so back in Iowa. They've been doing something similar around here called 'CommUnity Service' (capital U intended) between the three works in town, but those are held on Sunday night. And with my working 3rd shift, I can't always make it then (hopefully that will change soon, though).

Well, there's hope for me yet, then.
