"Reconstruction" was formed over four and a half years ago to provide music for contemporary worship services at the Parsippany UMC, and its sound has evolved in this context of praising God. According to Pastor Jeff Edwards, who plays blues harmonica in the band, "Part of our vision is to reach out to people who have a spiritual longing, but for whatever reason, feel disconnected from what they think of as 'Church". Although the music gives expression to our distinctly Christian faith with its focus on Jesus, we've found that the music has a way of unifying people inclusively, overcoming barriers of creed." "Reconstruction" is now sharing its musical ministry on the road by performing at other churches, coffee houses and outdoor street fairs.
