So, this is Stanford and Mary Leah's first date! It was a double date, apparently, with Tim and Lois. We see an inkling of Stanford's interest in Mary Leah with his very subtle comment: "like etc."

It is certainly not surprising that they would go to a church on their first date, but what a church! The Christian Science Church Stanford refers to is what is called the Mother Church, built in 1894 and then extended (massively) in 1906. It's quite a monumental building--very impressive. Below is a picture of the structure. The tiny part in front is the original church; the bulbous growth behind is the "extension."
