No. the only way that it would be illegal for them to penalize you is if you had to (morally) do what you were doing in order to stick to your religious beliefs. The Bible doesn't say that you have to attend a meeting. On another note, by keeping a Sunday Sabbath, you are breaking God's command in Deuteronomy 12:30-31 where He says not to see the way that the heathen worship their gods and worship Him in like manner. Worship on Sunday is the worship of the sun god.

Should employees be paid for attending mandatory meetings?
Employees SHOULD be paid for mandatory meetings. If an employer calls for a mandatory meeting on an employee's day off, or not during his scheduled shift, it should be considered the same as being called in to work. Said employee has to give up his time as well as transportation costs to attend the meeting for which the employer can reprimand or retaliate, if the employee does not attend (mandatory meetings only). Thus, if an employer calls you in to a "mandatory" meeting, you should be REQUIRED to clock in. This protects the employer as well as compensates the employee for cost of transportation and giving up his free time.
